Did some math with the pledge site and the list of how the german MEPs voted in the September vote. 15 of the MEPs that voted for Article 13 (or were absent (2) or did give a neutral vote(1)) in September pledged to vote against it. Thats 12 votes less for Article 13. And thats only the MEPs that pledged. Then there are the three MEPs of the EPPfrom Luxemburg who switched sides to vote against it. Thats in total 15 votes less for Article 13 and 18 more against it. In the September vote it was 366 for it and 297 against it. If all of those MEPs stay true to their word that would be 351 for Article 13 and 315 against it. And thats just the german MEPs who switched sides AND did the pledge and the EVP MEPs from Luxemburg. If we keep the pressure up, we might have a chance to turn this! We have to keep fighting! Never give up!
