The European Parliament's legal affairs committee recommended taking the Commission to court for bypassing MEPs in establishing a €150 billion loan programme for defense spending. The motion passed with 20 out of 23 votes. President Roberta Metsola must decide on the recommendation, following her warning to Ursula von der Leyen about potential legal action.

Metsola expressed concerns about democratic legitimacy and the legal basis of the proposal. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
