The European Parliament rejected a motion of no confidence against the European Commission with 309 votes against, 165 in favor, and 10 abstentions. The motion, submitted by the 'Patriots for Europe' political group, focused on the EU-Mercosur trade agreement, which the proponents consider harmful to European farmers and food security. They accused the Commission of failing to respond to challenges and exceeding its powers. MEP Geadis Geadi of ELAM was among those supporting the motion of no confidence.
