Parliament expresses lack of confidence in von der Leyen's leadership by voting no.
The European Parliament will convene for its plenary session from the 6th to the 9th of October, during which debates and votes on motions of no confidence against the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, will take place.
The motions, submitted by two separate factions - the "Patriots for Europe" and the Left - have been a subject of discussion and controversy. The factions have accused the President of a lack of transparency, censorship, and criticised her climate and migration policies.
Stefan Kornelius, the government spokesman, made statements on the matter in Berlin on Wednesday. However, he declined to comment specifically on the votes of no confidence. The federal government, in general, does not usually comment on proceedings in other parliaments.
The "Patriots for Europe" and the Left factions have submitted their motions of no confidence separately. The right-wing "Patriots for Europe" (PfE) group and the Left party faction have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with the President's leadership.
It is important to note that the European Parliament's plenary session will thoroughly discuss and vote on these motions. The outcome could have significant implications for the President's role and the European Commission's policies moving forward.
The federal government, however, has expressed confidence in the political stability of the European Union, stating that they are not concerned about potential instability arising from these votes of no confidence.
The debates and votes will occur within the European Parliament, with members from various factions expected to participate and share their perspectives on the motions. The results of these debates and votes will be closely watched by political observers and the general public alike.
