Some 37 of the newly elected 720 MEPs have a diverse background, this is about the same figure as in 2019, when the previous EU election was held. We looked at lawmakers who were born in a country outside the EU - or for whom one parent was - or those that represent a minority such as ethnic Hungarians in Romania.
