European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen faces a rare no-confidence vote in the European Parliament this week.

Two-thirds of votes cast by MEPs later this week will be required to force the President and the Commissioners to resign, which has happened only once in EU's history View on euronews

The motion of censure was tabled by MEP George Pipera (ECR, Romania), who accused von der Leyen of opacity in the wake of the Pfizergate scandal. On 2 July, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola announced that a motion of censure against the “von der Leyen II” Commission had been tabled, which meets the submission requirements.
