MODERATORS
What?
I see conservatives+ extreme right pro. Also some fake left
Against greens -real left.
(Not absolute since they vote individually)
But by faction:
pro: EPP,ECR, ID/Patriots
Against: EFA, The Left, Renew Europe, S&D(divided)
Undecided: S&D, Renew Europe
https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/189574
EPP and ECR voted against extension, but IIRC the reason is that they wanted stricter controls instead. Most other parties were largely in favour of extending the current chat control mandate.
True, was confused.
This was the result on the initial proposal, not the vote on extension of the exemption.
So as I understand it, we already have chat control since there is no legal framework (initial proposal didn't pass) and this exemption allows them to spy on us.
