Parliament adopted its position on establishing a digital euro by 416 votes to 169 , with 22 abstentions, in a single vote on the resolution. The EPP, S&D, Renew, the Greens/EFA and The Left supplied the majority; the PfE and ESN voted solidly against, the ECR was divided, and the NI mostly opposed the text. As a non-legislative own-initiative resolution, the text carries no direct legal force, but it sets out Parliament's formal political stance on a central bank digital currency and is intended to feed into the Commission's work and the wider debate on the euro's digital future. The comfortable margin reflects a broad centre coalition spanning the EPP, S&D, Renew, the Greens/EFA and The Left, while opposition was concentrated among the PfE and ESN, which voted unanimously against, and much of the NI. The ECR was split down the middle, with more of its members voting against than in favour.
