Is Ursula von der Leyen about to be fired?The European Parliament is putting European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to the test once again.
After surviving a no-confidence vote earlier this summer, she now faces two new censure motions — one from the right, one from the left — on October 9
So why are MEPs turning against her?
Pfizergate : secret text messages with Pfizer’s CEO about €35 billion vaccine contracts.
Mercosur : a controversial trade deal uniting critics from across the spectrum.
Tariffs, Gaza, war-mongering, lack of transparency, the list of grievances keeps growing.
From corruption scandals to trade wars and human rights controversies, von der Leyen has become a lightning rod for everything wrong with the EU.
But can her opponents finally bring her down — or will Europe’s deep political divisions save her once again?
We break down what’s at stake in this week’s historic no-confidence votes.
We explain how a censure motion works, and why no Commission President has ever fallen — except once, back in 1999.
Will Ursula von der Leyen survive?
