Von der Leyen Survives No-Confidence Vote — But Faces Final Warning. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has narrowly survived a no-confidence vote in the European Parliament - According to Politico. The motion, brought by the hard-right, failed to reach the required 357 votes — with 360 voting against, 175 in favor, and 18 abstentions. Despite backing from major centrist and left-leaning groups, many MEPs didn’t show up, exposing growing dissatisfaction with her leadership. Socialists and liberals, uneasy about von der Leyen’s perceived shift to the right, only supported her after last-minute concessions — including a promise to preserve the European Social Fund. Vice President of Parliament Katarina Barley warned this is von der Leyen’s “absolute last chance.” While she remains in office for now, critics from across the spectrum say future challenges are likely — and this vote may have just opened the door.
