EU’s Juncker survives censure motion over role in multinational tax avoidance

The EU Commission’s new president, Jean-Claude Juncker, on November 27, survived a no-confidence vote in European parliament brought on account of the “Lux leak” revelations that Luxembourg helped scores of multinationals avoid tax while Juncker was prime minister. The censure motion was defeated 461 to 101. There were 88 abstentions.
