No-Confidence Bids Against EU Leader Stir Tensions in Parliament
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen faces a second round of no-confidence motions. Hard-right and left groups in the European Parliament are spearheading the bids, despite their slim chances of success. The motions underscore broader dissatisfaction with her leadership and highlight divisions on issues like trade and migration.
The European Parliament is bracing for another round of political turbulence as President Ursula von der Leyen of the European Commission confronts no-confidence motions from both the far-right and the left.
The proposed censure, backed by France's far-right National Rally and the hard-left group France Unbowed, is unlikely to attain the necessary two-thirds majority to succeed. However, it reveals growing dissatisfaction within the EU Parliament.
This renewed political maneuvering comes after a similar attempt in July and underlines the mounting power of far-right and opposition groups. Notably, the censure critiques von der Leyen's green policies, migration stance, and trade agreements, which some lawmakers see as detrimental to the EU's interests.
