@je5perl@eupolicy.social @jmaris@eupolicy.social there were 646 present today and we were short of a 361 majority (the minimum we need on Thursday, the day before summer recess) by 57 votes. If we were short 57 votes today we are not magically going to find them on Thursday - there is no belief politically (I am on several mailing lists covering this topic) that this can be achieved - it has never been achieved on this file, throughout it's near 6 year history.

@thatprivacyguy@eupolicy.social I am NOT making any predictions about Thursday's vote. In many cases the vote on urgency today will likely be aligned with the vote in Thursday. But not all. In March, there was a vote on a motion to keep CC 1.0 on the agenda (originally planned for a trilogue agreement that didn't happen). Large majority in favour of having a plenary vote (in March), but two days later there was a majority for amendments (known CSAM only) and then a (different) majority for rejection. @jmaris@eupolicy.social

@thatprivacyguy@eupolicy.social @je5perl@eupolicy.social voting to vote on something is not the same as voting in favour of it. In similar situations in the past, the far right and socialists have voted in favour of a having a vote only to vote against when the vote happens. It is political positioning. I don't know if it is the case this time but I wouldn't rule out the possibility.
