The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen , is back in Strasbourg to defend herself against a no-confidence motion, just months after her last one.

On Monday evening, two motions of no confidence against the President will be debated at the European Parliament, as von der Leyen is set to defend herself against both ends of the political spectrum.

The far-right Patriots for Europe group seeks to hold her accountable for her trade policy, specifically the EU-Mercosur trade deal and the EU-US deal. While the Left group will criticise her trade policy and accuse her of “complicity in genocide” in Gaza.
