European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has survived two more votes of no confidence, as a large majority of lawmakers rejected censure motions from both far-right and far-left groups. The votes, held in Strasbourg, saw centrist pro-European groups rallying behind von der Leyen, ensuring her continued leadership at the helm of the European Union's executive branch. Critics from the nationalist and leftist groups accused her of mismanaging migration, neglecting farmers, and failing to address international law violations, but these claims did not sway the assembly. Von der Leyen, now in her second term, remains the first commission chief in over a decade to face such challenges, highlighting both her resilience and the polarized political climate within the European Union.
