The new European Parliament, elected in June 2024, has shifted further to the right, with conservative and nationalist parties gaining ground and forming two new groups — Patriots for Europe (PfE) and Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN).
Since taking office, the new parliament has voted on at least 14 resolutions concerning Russia and Ukraine — an early test of how its fresh line-up approaches foreign policy.
Drawing on these voting records, EUobserver and Novaya Gazeta Europe are releasing an updated ranking of the most pro-Kremlin parties and MEPs.
Note# The wiki for euobserver, states they were founded as an euro skeptical organisation but have developed into reliable in-depth journalism it seems
TLDR: Pro-Kremlin sentiment in the chamber is mostly found at its political fringes. On one end sit members of The Left, the far-left group, and on the other, the newly formed far-right alliances — PfE and ESN.
On one end sit members of The Left, the far-left group,
tankies
Yes , tankies or something like that. This wiki states that the GUE/ NGL faction have Socialist, Communist, soft Euroscepticism ideologies. There are for example in Central Europe some pro Rus communist parties, maybe some remnants in the West as well.
Fucking yankies.
At this point, can we call the duck, that walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and shits like a duck, a duck?
Specifically, all these twatwaffles are traitors and should be treated so. The European Union might not have the death sentence for traitors (and I’m not saying we should have it), but that doesn’t make the fact that these morons want to bend over and beg Putin to arsefuck them, after Russia conducted a number of attacks against a number of EU countries (mostly digital warfare but there were quite a few political murders that had very clear direct ties back to the Kremlin).
There’s plenty of graphs like this one
and they’re all labeled “Votes on resolutions related to Russia” or some such and I just don’t understand what that’s supposed to mean. Any resolution related to Russia could be pro Kremlin or anti Kremlin. Judging from the votes they’re all anti Kremlin I guess? The article doesn’t clarify.
Even so, it’s weird that these days it’s taken for granted that far-right is generally pro Kremlin.
In an ealier paragraph they spoke about" a group of MEPs consistently voted against resolutions condemning Moscow or supporting Kyiv." But yes, it’s not 100% clear without a name to the graph.
Also ESN wiki Ideologies; Ultranationalism, Ultraconservatism Right-wing populism, Hard Euroscepticism, and Neo-fascism.
