Motion of No Confidence Filed Against Ursula von der Leyen in the European Parliament
July 2, 2025
Ursula von der Leyen is facing a motion of no confidence in the European Parliament for the first time in over a decade. The motion, initiated by MEP Gheorge Piperea, focuses on her communications with the CEO of Pfizer during the pandemic. Despite some discontent, most political groups do not support the motion. If approved, it could lead to the dismissal of the Commission, which is considered highly unlikely.
