The European Parliament will hold a historic no-confidence vote against European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during its plenary session from October 6–9. The initiative comes simultaneously from two opposing forces—right-wing populists and the far left—marking an unprecedented political confrontation in EU history. Two Factions Unite Against the Commission President According to Politico, both the “Patriots for Europe” and “The Left” submitted separate motions of no-confidence on September 10, just seconds apart. This unusual alignment from opposite ends of the political spectrum has shaken Brussels, with many officials unsure how to proceed with two overlapping votes. The timing was especially striking, as the move came only hours after von der Leyen delivered her annual “State of the Union” address outlining priorities for the European Union.
