The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, largely survived Thursday at two votes of no confidence in the European Parliament, coming from parties located at both ends of the political spectrum.
MEPs rejected motions of censure tabled by groups far right and far left, who accused the German leader of mismanaging migration policy and the European Union's relations with Israel.
In the first vote, 378 of the 720 MEPs have given their support to von der Leyen, and 383 during the second, thus confirming the stability of its majority within Parliament.
These results confirm the President of the Commission, re-elected in July for a second five-year term, facing growing attacks on his handling of the European Green Deal, the EU's defense budget and Brussels' role in the Gaza war.
Von der Leyen, who then addressed MEPs in Brussels, welcomed " Parliament's renewed confidence " and reaffirmed its desire to continue its agenda focused on the security, competitiveness and ecological transition.
