Von der Leyen's censure motion survival: a shallow victory?

EU Observer reports that Ursula von der Leyen survived the censure vote in Parliament, but the outcome exposed fragile alliances and growing discontent across party lines. Although backed by far-right groups, her leadership is now under heightened scrutiny from mainstream parties as well. Alberto Alemanno, law professor at HEC Paris Business School, argues that surviving the vote doesn’t strengthen her politically, and highlights how her allies have helped dismantle the Green Deal and block ethical oversight structures.
