Meeting alerts →About Marc BOTENGA
Marc Botenga represents Belgium in the European Parliament as a member of The Left in the European Parliament (GUE/NGL), the left-wing and socialist grouping that advocates for workers' rights, economic equality, and opposition to austerity measures. He belongs to the Workers' Party of Belgium, Belgium's Marxist-Leninist party that positions itself as a radical alternative to mainstream politics and focuses on defending working-class interests against what it views as capitalist exploitation. Before his election to the European Parliament, Botenga worked as a researcher and activist within Belgium's labor movement. He serves a full term and has established himself as a vocal advocate for his party's anti-establishment positions within the European Union's legislative framework, consistently promoting socialist policies and challenging neoliberal economic approaches.

Methodology
Attendance is calculated based on roll-call votes in plenary sessions of the European Parliament. Committee votes are excluded. Abstaining counts as present; not voting counts as absent. Sittings for which the Parliament officially excused a Member (Rule 162, illness, family, official mission, or maternity) are credited, not counted as absences. Notable votes are selected based on significance, close outcomes, and high participation.
