Market Chatter: EC President Survives No-Confidence Vote Over Pfizer Vaccine Negotiation Texts
Jul 10, 2025 4:51 AM

07:29 AM EDT, 07/10/2025 (MT Newswires) -- European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has won a no-confidence vote regarding an alleged lack of transparency over text messages she exchanged with Pfizer ( PFE ) chief executive officer Albert Bourla about vaccine negotiations during the Covid pandemic, Bloomberg reported Thursday.

The censure motion, which requires a two-thirds majority to pass, saw 360 European Parliament lawmakers vote against the move, with 175 voting for and 18 abstaining, the report said.

The no-confidence motion was initiated by a group of more than 70 lawmakers led by Romania's Gheorghe Piperea of the far-right European Conservatives and Reformists group, the report said.
