European Commission spokesman Eric Mamer said the video was edited in Zagreb and that the Commission was not involved. It is not disputed that von der Leyen has the right to support allied parties privately and as a member of the European People's Party, but she cannot do so in her capacity as President of the European Commission. It is debatable that she addressed herself as the President of the European Commission. It was written on the screen, behind it was the flag of the European Union, and the recording was made in the building of the European Commission. "The president has been informed of some of the mistakes made in this video. We will use this experience to prevent such unintentional mistakes in the future," Mamer said. He also confirmed that there were requests to investigate whether the President of the European Commission had violated the code of ethics. Journalists asked if she would be involved in the presidential election campaign in Poland. A spokesman said it was a private and personal decision by Ursula van der Leyen. He repeated several times that the case of the HDZ video was a "small technical error". But the Commission did not want to apologize but merely reiterated that "the necessary procedures will be used to ensure that such mistakes are not repeated"
