BRUSSELS: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen faces two votes of no confidence this week, three months after surviving her first-ever motion of censure. The Patriots for Europe (PfE) and The Left have tabled no-confidence votes against Leyen.
The debate in the European Parliament is scheduled to take place jointly on Monday at 5 pm CEST while the voting will be conducted separately on Thursday at noon CEST, Euro News reported.
It mentioned that while the two motions filed against Ursula von der Leyen are doomed to fail, they demonstrate a new challenge to von der Leyen's stay in power and governance style, which has been facing increasing scrutiny since the beginning of her second mandate.
