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.
