Ursula von der Leyen secures five more years in top EU job
Von der Leyen pointedly aimed criticism at right wing nuts:
Speaking to reporters, she added that the most important thing for Europe was to defend its democracy "which is under attack from inside and from outside".
Her remarks echoed a speech to MEPs earlier on Thursday, in which she spoke out against what she called the "demagogues and extremists" that "destroy our European way of life" and promised to collaborate with "all the democratic forces" in the Parliament.

Far-right groupings, including the biggest and newly formed Patriots for Europe, were vehemently against her winning a second term.
Members of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni far-right Brothers of Italy (FdI) party revealed they had not supported Ms von der Leyen.
"Voting for her would have meant going against our principles," said FdI MEP Nicola Procaccini.
