🇪🇺🗳 Vote of no-confidence against Ursula von der Leyen fails!

360 MEPs voted against the motion, with 175 in favor and 18 abstaining. Out of 720 MEPs, 553 showed up to cast a ballot. The motion would have needed 357 votes to pass.

Despite having the support of her own European People’s Party as well as the Socialists, the liberals of Renew, and the Greens, some MEPs from these groups did not show up to vote.

Gheorghe Piperea, a Romanian lawmaker from the right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), who brought the motion against von der Leyen, told POLITICO that he expected the motion to fail, but that the exercise was healthy for the EU. He added that he expects the move to “open Pandora’s box” by showing that “it is possible” to challenge the Commission president.

Von der Leyen should brace for “several” more censure efforts, Piperea said.

The EPP disagrees. “The day we return from holidays, we would almost have forgotten about this,” predicted EPP vice-chair Siegfried Mureșan.
