Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has fired a shot across bow of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as she prepares to face a confidence vote in the European Parliament.
In a social media post, Orbán declared it was “time for her to go,” accompanied by an image of von der Leyen leaving through a red frame, symbolizing her departure. This comes as tensions over her leadership escalate and the Parliament votes on Thursday on whether she should remain EU executive head.
The vote reflects growing divisions over von der Leyen’s performance and her handling of key European issues. Orbán’s comments are seen as an attempt to influence the outcome and further destabilize von der Leyen’s position.
