European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen vehemently opposed a censure motion initiated by far-right parliamentarian Gheorghe Piperea, labeling it a distortion threatening democracy. The motion, which obtained enough signatures to be considered, targets transparency issues regarding EU Covid-19 vaccine contracts and could lead to Von der Leyen's resignation alongside the European Commission. Despite the chaotic atmosphere in the European Parliament, she appears to be at little risk of losing her position, as most political groups reject the initiative.
Ursula von der Leyen accused far-right parliamentarian Gheorghe Piperea of using extremist tactics to distort democracy and polarize society, emphasizing the importance of integrity in governance.
The motion of censure against Von der Leyen, initiated by Piperea, draws attention to transparency issues regarding EU contracts for Covid-19 vaccines and could compel a vote impacting the EU's leadership.
