Taken together, the five groupings comprise 559 members in the 751-member European Parliament. A separate grouping, which represents 66 Members of European Parliament (MEPs), has moved a sixth resolution that supports the Act but calls for an impartial probe into “excessive use of force by security forces” against anti-CAA protesters. The S&D Group is the leading centre-left political group in the European Parliament and comprises 154 MEPs. With 108 MEPs from 22 countries, this is the third largest group in the European Parliament. The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), which is a Eurosceptic, anti-federalist group with 66 members, is supportive of the CAA.
