SCANDAL in the European Parliament: motion of no confidence against von der Leyen failed!
A CONSTANT exchange of blows, a bitter power struggle and a SHOCKING turnaround in European politics: the motion of no confidence against the controversial EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has failed! LKZ reports that during the decisive vote in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, the pro-European forces once again emerged victorious from the stormy political fray. 175 MPs voted for the motion, but a clear majority of 360 voted against it!
This fight for von der Leyen's political future is going around the world in total confusion and with immense drama. ALL EYES were on the fate of the EU Commission, while heated debates about allegations of lack of transparency and mismanagement, especially in the context of Corona policy, were taking place in the corridors of Parliament! After all, if this proposal had been accepted, the entire commission would have resigned!
The political quarrel
The motion was submitted by a group of 77 parliamentarians, including 15 AfD MPs and members of the French Rassemblement National party. In a real-time debate on the motion, the leader of the Social Democrats, Iratxe García Pérez, asked the BRISANT question of whether we wanted to govern with forces that want to DESTROY Europe! A question that left no one untouched.
Ursula von der Leyen vehemently rejected the allegations with a passionate 15-minute speech, but the division in the European Parliament shows the TORNness of the political landscape: Liberals, Greens and the Left accuse von der Leyen of opening herself up to right-wing forces! Time highlights, that the political center is tipping the scales, while right-wing forces seem to be looking for more and more majorities, which makes the political situation even more unpredictable.
A secret struggle
While von der Leyen wasn't even in parliament because she had to take part in an important reconstruction conference for Ukraine in Rome, tempers were running high in the plenary hall! Another excitement: Von der Leyen made concessions, including the promise of money to the European Social Fund in the next EU budget. WAS THAT ENOUGH to silence the critics? ZDF describes the heated debates, punctuated by emotional outbursts of anger from the applicants, who did not shy away from conspiracy theories.
The prospect of the EU's political future is more uncertain than ever before! Von der Leyen and the EU Commission are hanging in the balance while the power games in Brussels continue unabated. It hovers between the extreme political camps and could be thrown off at any time! A failed proposal that was in no way able to defuse the explosive situation in the EU - on the contrary, it sheds a bright light on the hardened fronts of European politics!
