European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen faced no-confidence votes, but is expected to survive due to centrist support. She adopted a more conciliatory tone, emphasizing unity and warning against Russian interference. While moderate opponents expressed genuine concerns, they rallied behind her against far-right and far-left opposition, citing a need for stability amidst global turmoil. However, this support is not unconditional, and key parties like the Greens and ECR remain critical or divided.
