Parliament adopted a resolution stating that Hungary poses a clear risk of seriously breaching the EU's founding values, including democracy, the rule of law, and fundamental rights. The text updates Parliament's earlier findings and lists twelve problem areas, such as judicial independence, corruption, media freedom, and minority rights. Parliament calls on the Council to act on its Article 7(1) procedure and urges the Commission to use all available tools to address the situation.

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).
