EU chief von der Leyen survives rare confidence vote

簡介：

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen survived a rare confidence vote in the European Parliament, with 175 in favor and 360 against. The motion, led by far‑right MEPs, accused her of lacking transparency over Covid‑19 vaccine negotiations. Despite criticism over her party’s occasional cooperation with the far right, von der Leyen retained support from centrist, socialist, liberal, Green, and left‑wing groups, the BBC has reported. The vote highlighted tensions within the Parliament, with some allies warning her to avoid far‑right alliances in the future.
