Ursula von der Leyen hit back against a renewed attempt to topple her presidency by making a pitch for political unity at a time when "our adversaries are not only ready to exploit any divisions" but "they are actively inciting those divisions in the first place".
Von der Leyen faces two simultaneous motions of censure this week, filed by far-right and far-left groups in the European Parliament, just three months after she comfortably survived her first-ever vote of no confidence.
