- 🗳️ Today marked that last day of voting in the European Parliament in 2025! As usual - vote results are up on howtheyvote.eu! 👀 Let's take a (really brief) look:Dec 18, 2025 20:33
- 🫄We begin with a vote that I missed yesterday - thanks to everyone who made us aware! Progressives in Parliament voted in favor of an "EU-funded, voluntary solidarity mechanism to finance abortion care for women without access to safe and legal abortion" howtheyvote.eu/votes/182767
- A welcome initiative and also a great example of (direct) democracy in action - this is the result of a European Citizen Initiative that got more than 1.2 Million signatures - congratulations to all involved! We'll keep an eye on what the Commission does next!
- 🧑⚖️ Today, Parliament adopted a Report on the "Implementation of the rule of law conditionality regime". The regime allows the EU to cut funding to member states as a reaction to breaches of the rule of law. Used only one time until now against Hungary, despite more breaches.
- MEPs called for stronger involvement of Parliament, stricter enforcement under clear guidelines, improved transparency and better protection for whistleblowers, among others. Votes against almost exclusively from the far-right. Very clear voting behavior among all groups. howtheyvote.eu/182506
- 🛩️ Parliament also condemned repeated and severe hybrid attacks from Belarus against Lithuania 🇱🇹, e.g. in the form of airspace violations and weaponized migration. The motion was authored jointly by PPE, GREENs, ECR, Renew and S&D. Only ESN voted against it by a majority. howtheyvote.eu/182922
