Political Groups in the European Parliament

Political groups in the European Parliament are coalitions of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) who share similar political beliefs and ideologies, regardless of their country of origin. These groups organize discussions, coordinate voting, and influence legislative work collectively, helping to streamline decision-making across diverse national backgrounds. While these groups are not formal political parties, they functionally act as teams that promote common policy goals within the Parliament, facilitating cooperation among MEPs with aligned views to effectively represent their constituents’ interests at the European level.
