Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while César Luena held the seat, 537 of them the final vote on a text. A member with no vote recorded may have been on parliamentary business, ill, on leave, or present without voting - the published record does not distinguish these and gives no reason. Votes taken by show of hands or by secret ballot are not recorded by name and are absent here.
How they voted on final texts
Share of the 537 final votes held while seated.
With and against the group
On the 502 final texts where more than half of S&D members casting a vote went one way, and César Luena also voted. Groups are not bound to vote together: a Member's mandate is personal and exercised freely, so neither figure is a measure of performance.

Unlinked but matchable
85 counterpart entrys in César Luena's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “WWF” - likely WWF Deutschland (4 counterpart entrys)
- “IFAW” - likely International Fund for Animal Welfare (3 counterpart entrys)
- “AEPLA” - likely Asociación empresarial para la protección de las plantas (2 counterpart entrys)
Matching is automated and can be wrong - see how matching works. Linking the register entry is the fix, and it is the MEP office's to make.
