Day brief

A short account of the day, written by AI from the decisions and their summaries.

AI: The day in brief Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament held a voting day focused on resolutions, rejecting a motion of censure against the Commission and adopting texts on human rights, security, and budgetary oversight.

  • Motion of censure on the Commission: Parliament rejected the motion of censure, so the Commission keeps its position. The Left, ECR, Patriots, and ESN backed it, while Greens, S&D, Renew, and EPP opposed.
  • Jimmy Lai conviction in Hong Kong: Parliament adopted a resolution condemning Jimmy Lai's conviction, calling for his release and urging member states to suspend extradition treaties with Hong Kong and China.
  • Joseph Figueira Martin case in CAR: Parliament adopted a resolution on Joseph Figueira Martin, condemning his forced labour sentence and demanding fair trial rights, medical care, and an investigation into torture allegations.
  • Drones and new warfare systems: Parliament adopted a resolution on drones and new warfare, stressing the need for the EU to adapt to security challenges. It is non-binding and does not create law.
  • Performance indicators for EU funds: Parliament adopted a resolution calling for reliable, transparent indicators measuring outputs and impacts of EU funds for competitiveness. Greens, Renew, and EPP backed it; The Left, S&D, Patriots, and ESN opposed.
