Geadis: Motion of Censure Against von der Leyen a Message Against 'Arbitrariness' over Mercosur

ELAM MEP Geadis Geadis described the motion of censure against Ursula von der Leyen regarding the EU-Mercosur agreement as a message against the President of the Commission's 'arbitrariness'. The motion was rejected by the EP Plenary, but Geadis argues that the lack of consultation with the EP before the agreement was undemocratic. It remains unclear whether the agreement will be provisionally applied pending the opinion of the Court of Justice of the EU. Geadis participated in farmers' protests outside the EP, expressing his support.
