on behalf of the Renew Group. – Madam President, we are in 2025, but our electoral law quite literally belongs to another century. It was adopted in 1976 and is now completely obsolete. Today we are taking an important step to allow women to reconcile motherhood with democratic participation – a long-awaited step into modernity and justice. But our role here is to fully reflect today's society – and today care and responsibility belong equally to both parents. This is why our group has pushed also to include fathers in the proxy vote. All this was foreseen in this Parliament's new electoral law that we proposed in 2022, together with the rights of disabled voters or digital voting. Our fight for a more efficient and truly European electoral law must therefore continue. This is why we call upon the Council to finally engage in real negotiations on our new electoral law. And we count, President, on your strong support for this.
