The European People’s Party: center right or center left? An exhaustive analysis of the EPP’s voting patterns on the Migration and Asylum Pact, the Green Deal, the Rule of Law and Trade

A dive into the European People's Party's (EPP) voting patterns suggests a significant overlap with progressive, socialist, and left-wing stances. Despite being labelled as 'centre-right,' the EPP's voting behavior shows a 95% alignment with Socialists (S&D) and Liberals (Renew) on major EU policies. Covering four critical areas – the Migration and Asylum Pact, the European Green Deal, Resolutions against Hungary and Poland, and Trade Agreements – the study examines 86 legislative votes in the European Parliament’s ninth legislature.
