European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will face two fresh no-confidence votes this week, following increased political pressure. The Patriots for Europe and The Left have launched separate motions, targeting her handling of the EU-US trade deal and the EU-Mercosur agreement.

 

 

A joint debate is set for today, with votes scheduled for Thursday. Critics accuse Von der Leyen of compromising European interests and lacking transparency. Despite sharp divisions, the motions are expected to fail due to centrist support.

 

 

The back-to-back challenges reflect growing dissatisfaction with her leadership during her second term. Concerns also include climate policy, migration, and geopolitical tensions.
