EU chief Ursula von der Leyen faced a grilling before twin no-confidence votes in the European Parliament AFP EU chief Ursula von der Leyen called for unity Monday as she warned lawmakers that confidence votes she faces this week in the European Parliament played into the hands of the bloc's foes. "The truth is that our adversaries are not only ready to exploit any divisions -- they are actively inciting those divisions in the first place," the European Commission head told parliament's opening session in Strasbourg. Less than three months after surviving a similar challenge, the two motions of censure against von der Leyen, from the hard-left and far-right, have almost no chance of bringing down von der Leyen when they are put to a vote on Thursday.
