Germany's Ursula von der Leyen secured a second term as European Commission president despite challenges, with 401 votes in favor. She faced opposition from far-right figures and internal EPP dissent.
Von der Leyen pledged stricter environmental goals and cease-fire efforts. She committed to a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 and advocated for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza.
