voting (4.00 / 3)
Secret ballot, so no detail on how many in the EPP, S&D and RE voted for or against her.

383 votes for, 327 against, 22 abstentations or blank which gives 19 absent. EPP, S&D and RE has together 444, so at least 20 voted against, and at most 61.

Of course, if anyone has an available list of those absent the range can be narrowed down. The Cataln separatist appears to still be not seated, and if I understand things correctly, neither has anyone else in their place. So that removes two absent, and moves the range to 22-61 of the coalition voting against.
