Ursula von der Leyen is facing a major political crisis after deciding to withdraw a law that would make companies liable for unsubstantiated environmental claims. The move has sparked harsh reactions from socialists and liberals, who accuse her of bowing to far-right pressure and compromising the pro-European majority in parliament. The withdrawal of the law was welcomed by right-wing groups, but raised concerns about the future of political support for Von der Leyen, which depends on the votes of these parties.
