Indeed. And she's legally obligated to give the reasons (when the
question is formally asked) why such a scandalous person was chosen
instead of conducting a more normal kind of search for a well-qualified
and suitable person to fill this role:

According to Article 41 of the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights [1],
which has been ratified by all EU member countries as part of the
Lisbon Treaty, there is a right to good administration which includes
in particular "the obligation of the administration to give reasons
for its decisions".
