Vote of confidence: How the European Parliament can finish von der Leyen’s Commission

A motion of censure against the European Commission has been rejected in the European Parliament by at least two-thirds of the voters, marking a significant shift in the EU political landscape. This decision, previously reported by Euronews, has set the stage for the European Commission to walk away from President Ursula von der Leyen after her entire European Commission was removed from power. The ruling party requires at least two-thirds of the votes cast in the Parliament to adopt a motion of censure, which is an unconditional no-confidence vote. This vote must be held by the end of 48 hours after the motion is tabled, and if rejected, the process would halt entirely. The procedure follows a plenary debate and a subsequent vote by the European Parliament, with the debate and vote constrained to within the next 48 hours.

The European Commission’s opposition to the motion of censure is a stark reminder of the political risks in Europe. A single vote in the EU Parliament can have far-reaching consequences, as the next roll call reveals. Nine attempts have been made in the past to topple the EU Commission, with only one of them succeeding in 1999, when the Commission was请大家 expelled from power for fraud allegations. In 2014, during a referendum on the role of the Commission, only 101 of 670 members voted in favor of rejecting President Jean-Claude Juncker, underscoring the severe public reaction to this move. Each Pluto attempt has diversity in its reasons: some aimed at bold changes to the EU budget, others focused on stabilizing the Eurostat statistical office, and yet others were酝酿ing changes to the EU budget regulations, all in the hope of avoiding a formal vote.

The ruling party’s opposition to the motion of censure is not just ethical—it is practical. The majority of EU Parliament members have rejected it, and only one of the historical nine motions was ultimately accepted in 1999, when the Commission was removed from power for fraud. The concept of a plenary debate for the voter to request a withdrawal vote is rare, except in rare cases where the vote is allowed to unfold publicly. However, such motions rarely pass, and when they do, it comes with a heavy burden for the voters.

The process for administering such motions is complex. The European Parliament rolls out roll calls bv rolling out votes byAUDrees, with the majority of members casting their votes in a volume office environment. The multitude of oppositions highlights the difficulty of maintaining a majority in the latest vote, amid a HOST of years of conflict. The innovation of the plenary后排 approach, where a crisis party’s opposition must submit its concerns to both parties in a slow, deliberate process, remains a contentious 和 retired. However, the ratification of the European Referendum on 28 November 2020 was completed quickly, with its vote deemed تعailles by the EU institutions. Meanwhile, the EU authorities remain on high alert, with again볼TP via roll call—represented here as plain voting) for the EU Parliament in progress, as the European Commission’s hopes and fears are now mirrored on the EU side.
