Motion of censure on the Commission (debate)
The very stability of Europe is at stake! The current European Commission was elected in 2024. Since then, it has proved to be aware of what’s at stake for Europe, especially in the economy and for our security. At the same time, the Commission has been challenged due to crises and geopolitical developments. Its initiatives for the Omnibus-packages show the efforts by the Commission to contribute to Europe’s future prosperity. For our security, the Commission has been a constructive partner of the European Parliament in fostering our defence capability. When it comes to global crises the Commission has been keeping up Europe’s stance. I see the motions of censure against the European Commission as nothing but attempts to destabilise Europe; no matter whether they had been tabled by the extreme left or by the extreme right like recently. As the EU is for the time being to be seen as the most stable part of the world, it’s even more severe when political groups try to destabilise it. For all these reasons my intention has remained as in all the former cases to vote against the motion of censure against the European Commission.
