Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, faced a no-confidence vote in the European Parliament. Far-right lawmakers criticized her pandemic response and vaccine procurement decisions. However, the motion failed to gather enough support.
Key highlights:
• Von der Leyen defended her record on vaccine access.
• The vote coincided with EU-US trade negotiations.
This political challenge underscores ongoing tensions within the European Parliament and the complexities of managing the COVID-19 crisis.
