In the first session of the current term, dozens of MEPs were absent without reason, totaling 190 absences. Former Prime Minister Victor Ponta tops the list with the most absentees, followed by MEPs like Alexandru Popa (PNL) and Silviu-Florin Oancea (AUR). The absences were recorded despite the possibility of online participation. Each absence can result in the withholding of part of an MEP's monthly allowance.
