✦ What this vote decides · AI summary, based on the text voted on

Parliament adopted a resolution on the dissolution of political parties and the crackdown on the opposition in Mali, following a decree by the military transitional authority on 13 May 2025. The adopted text encourages the military authority to restart dialogue with political forces and calls on the EU to reconnect with Mali's rulers to tackle challenges. Parliament also asks the EU to address instability spillover from the central Sahel and warns that the crisis may fuel mass emigration.

New here? How plenary voting works
A sitting
One day of voting in plenary. Each subject is a report, resolution, agreement or objection; they are grouped by kind of decision, and each group says what “adopted” means there.
The ballots
Members vote on amendments and on parts of the text first, then on the text as a whole. That final, decisive vote is the result shown at the top of each subject.
Who voted how
Only roll-call votes record each Member’s vote — open one for every name and the breakdown by group. A show of hands records the outcome only.
Document & procedure
Each subject rests on a document (a committee report, a motion, a Council or Commission text) and belongs to a procedure, the whole file that can span years.
Group badges
How most of a group voted: ✓ For · ✗ Against · – Abstained · ~ Split (no majority).
