An Ireland South MEP has defended her decision to vote against what she's called a "fascist" censure vote of the European Commission President. Ursula von der Leyen has survived the motion tabled today after it failed to secure the required two-thirds majority. The motion was brought forward by a Romanian far-right MEP after von der Leyen's refusal to release text messages exchanged with the Chief Executive of Pfizer during the pandemic. Ireland South MEP Fianna Fáil Cynthia Ní Mhurchú has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons creating a power vacuum in Europe would only serve to destabilise Ireland and jeopardise its interests.
