EU leaders face no-confidence votes over trade, migration, and Gaza; von der Leyen expected to survive.
Ursula von der Leyen faces two no-confidence motions in the European Parliament, set for October 9, following criticism over EU trade deals with the U.S. and Mercosur, migration and green policies, and her stance on Gaza.
The far-right Patriots for Europe and far-left The Left led the challenges, citing economic harm, transparency issues, and foreign policy failures.
Despite deep political divisions, von der Leyen is expected to survive, needing a two-thirds majority—719 votes—to be removed, a threshold unlikely to be met.
The votes reflect broader European instability, including France’s political turmoil and concerns over democratic backsliding.
