Both the far right and the left want to bring down the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in their respective votes of no confidence in the European Parliament.
Neither is likely to get enough votes – and is instead accused of just wanting to exploit the rules for propaganda purposes.
A bit ridiculous. I hope you have recorded enough video material for your campaigns now, said Manfred Weber, group leader of the parliament's largest party group, the Christian Democratic conservative EPP, in a debate on Monday evening.
Ursula von der Leyen herself called for unity and warned that the EU is in a period of "maximum uncertainty".
The votes will be held on Thursday.
