The no-confidence motion initiated by AUR MEP Gheorghe Piperea targets the handling of private messages between von der Leyen and Pfizer's director, which is considered to lack transparency. Although von der Leyen is expected to survive the vote, she may have to compromise to win support from both the left and the right. Criticism is also mounting over the withdrawal of a green directive, with MEPs calling for more transparency and consultation in the commission's decision-making process.
