About Hildegard BENTELE
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. Bentele demonstrates exceptional commitment to her parliamentary duties, maintaining a 97.7% attendance record that significantly exceeds the European Parliament's average of approximately 82%, and participates in 98% of votes, casting ballots in 1,830 of 1,873 recorded votes during her current term.
