Loukas (They/Them) 🏳️⚧️Refreshing this page so I can go through and see how each MEP voted on #NatureRestorationLaw
I am a normal person with normal interests https://www.europarl.europa.eu/plenary/en/votes.html?tab=votes
Rina Ronja Kari@Loukas have you also looked at who went from voting against the proposal in the beginning and then in the end either voted in favor or abstain? I’m curious what kind of changes has been voted via amendments 🤔
@rinakari no, I'm afraid I'm too unfamiliar with what all the amendments mean, and so I didn't want to risk giving inaccurate data. I agree that they are important.
@Loukas ok! Totally understand, it’s quite technical to goo in to. I just can’t help thinking that the final proposal are incredibly watered down. Anyway thanks for the overview of the first vote 👍 significant that none from the Green, S&D and GUE/NGL voted in favor of the rejection - they seems to united.
@rinakari I can imagine, and now it'll get even more watered down in trialogue?
My big takeaway is that the green and left is united, and right is split, yes.
@Loukas I heard (but have not looked at it my self) that the Parliament managed to get the most watered down version, but I guess the trialogue will really depend on the Council. My take is that EP can hardly push for a more progressive approach then the parliament mandate, they have to be loyal to the EP-position or risk a negative vote on the trialogue outcome (depending on the timing of course - it might only be after the election, and then what?)
@rinakari yes, and the thin parliament vote means the Council knows EP doesn't have a strong mandate unfortunately.
