How to read these figures
- Attendance at roll-call votes: votes cast (for, against, abstain) out of the roll-call votes held in plenary during the mandate. Votes whose named list is not published are not counted.
- Votes against the group: a vote for or against that goes against the position of the majority of the group that day. Abstentions and absences do not count.
- Written questions: questions tabled and published in the Chamber’s bulletin up to March 23, 2026.
- Speeches: contributions recorded in the reports of the plenary and of the committees.
- Group median: the middle value among the sitting Members of the same group.
The figures speak for themselves: we do not interpret them in any way. These figures measure the quantity of activity, not its quality. A group or committee chair, a Member who joined during the legislature or a former minister has a different profile.
