The majority ending this proposal was composed of EPP, ECR, PfE, and ESN, with some RENEW members. Not all of the votes were strictly needed for the majority, but what is clear: EPP build a majority that was reliant on far-right support.

The dismantling of the EUs climate agenda continued, with a vote to reject the "Monitoring framework for resilient European forests" gaining a majority - don't be fooled by the graph: As the motion was to reject this, a majority of votes in favor ended this proposal.

We had a bunch of news-worthy stuff on the agenda this week, that was decided without roll-call votes, such as new unified rules for 🚗 drivers licenses throughout the 🇪🇺 and new rules that aim at making businesses accountable to stop the leakage of 🚯 micro-plastic into the environment.

In July, Italian ECR MEPs did not vote on the censure, although they were present. This time, they abstained from the right-wing motion and voted against the left one.
What I wonder - might this indicate insecurity of the outcome of the vote? Abstaining increases the 2/3 of votes cast threshold.
