Faced with the vise of disbelief comes again by the Commission President Ursula von der Layen Having faced the second round of censure votes next week in the European Parliament in less than 3 months. The opposition is intensifying, but central legislators are expected to choose stability instead of its removal, writes the Politico.
Although MEPs – including some of its center -right European People’s Party – are becoming increasingly critical of the leadership of the Commission President, Ursula von der Layen, they are more likely to use Monday’s debate in the European Parliament to express their debate in the European Parliament. Thursday (09.10.2025), writes the same post.
“There are many good reasons to criticize Ursula von der Layen,” said German green leader Eric Marquard. However, he added, “we do not believe that a successor would necessarily be better than the current chairman of the committee.”
On October 9th there will be Two separate votes of censure, One that will be submitted by the far -right group of patriots for Europe and another from the left (more left of the dominant socialists and democrats).
Parliament consists of 719 MEPs. 2/3 of the MEPs who vote must vote against von der Laen to leave.
It is recalled that last July, The European Parliament has not passed by the motion of censure that had been submitted to Ursula von der Layen. 360 MEPs supported the President of the Commission. 175 voted in favor of the motion of censure and 18 abstained.
The right -handed proposal had been filed by the far -right ‘Patriots for Europe’ In the way in which Ursula von der Laene managed the supply of vaccines during the crowns and her role in the Pfizergate scandal. She described the inspirers of the proposal of mistrust as “extremists”, “antibiotics” and “fans of Putin”.
