Hildegard Bentele represents Germany in the European Parliament as a member of the European People's Party (EPP), the centre-right political group that forms the largest bloc in the institution. She belongs to the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Germany's main centre-right party that has traditionally been a pillar of European integration and has produced several German chancellors including Angela Merkel. Before her European parliamentary career, Bentele served as a Berlin state minister, bringing significant political experience to her role in Brussels and Strasbourg. The EPP generally advocates for pro-business policies, fiscal responsibility, and stronger European institutions while maintaining conservative positions on social issues.

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.
