About Sander SMIT
Sander Smit represents the Netherlands in the European Parliament as a member of the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA), a centre-right party that has traditionally been one of the major political forces in Dutch politics and part of numerous coalition governments. Smit sits with the European People's Party (EPP), the Parliament's largest political group, which promotes Christian democratic values, free market economics, and European integration while emphasizing subsidiarity and traditional social values. The EPP typically supports business-friendly policies, strong transatlantic relations, and a measured approach to EU expansion and reform. Smit maintains a slightly below-average attendance record at 79.4% compared to the Parliament's average of around 82%, and has participated in 79% of votes, casting 1,487 ballots out of 1,873 possible votes during his full term. His work in the Parliament reflects the CDA's commitment to Christian democratic principles and the Netherlands' generally pro-European but pragmatic approach to EU integration.
