EU's Ursula von der Leyen faces confidence vote over vaccine handling and fund allegations.

Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the EU's executive arm, is facing a confidence vote in the European Parliament, initiated by critics over her handling of the COVID-19 vaccine negotiations and alleged misuse of EU funds. Despite calls for her resignation, particularly from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, von der Leyen is expected to win the vote due to support from major political groups. The motion needs a two-thirds majority to pass, which observers believe is unlikely.
