The European Parliament is challenging the legality of the SAFE defense program, activated by the European Commission without consulting it, arguing that the use of Article 122 TFEU to bypass parliamentary approval is incorrect and undermines democratic legitimacy. The program, proposed by Ursula von der Leyen, aims to boost Europe's defense industry and has been endorsed by EU ministers, with interest expressed by 18 member states for loans of €127 billion.
