There were some strange goings-on in the LIBE Committee last week when it came to the vote. 29 MEPs voted in favour (SD, Socialist and Democrats, and ALDE, Liberal group), 18 voted against (Greens and GUE, United Left) and 37 abstained (EPP and other right groups). The high number of abstentions appears to have happened because of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people) rights issues - the committee had voted through by 42-40 votes an amendment from Jeanine Hennis Plasschaert MEP.
