Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, is facing a no-confidence vote in the European Parliament. This motion has been spearheaded by lawmakers such as Gheorghe Piperea, who have accused von der Leyen of corruption, misuse of power, and undermining democratic principles. Critics argue that the Commission under von der Leyen is increasingly authoritarian and opaque, with some even drawing parallels to historical figures like Stalin. The vote is also seen as a response to the EU’s growing democracy deficit, with the Commission’s lack of transparency and accountability being a major point of contention. The motion has sparked significant debate, with some accusing von der Leyen of attempting to shift blame onto Russia for any criticism. Nonetheless, the vote is seen as a critical moment for the EU, with many calling for the resignation of von der Leyen and her Commission.
