"Amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament promoted by the majority in this House – the holy alliance between the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament – come and go, but they do not make the institution more democratic. Proof of this is the amendment to Rule 48(2), which limits the political groups’ opportunities for involvement in tabling amendments, requests for split votes and roll-call votes on points in own-initiative reports, if these are only carried out under the short presentation procedure. The aim is to assert the role of Parliament in interinstitutional disputes within the EU, with the majority seeking to ensure that own-initiative reports feign a consensus, limiting the involvement of some political groups by conveying the idea that Parliament is united around common goals. This is aimed at the most significant political group in Parliament, the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left, and its actions in advocating an alternative to the EU of big business and the major powers, which continues to support peace and oppose the militarisation of the EU."@en1
