EPP Congress in Bucharest – Highlights of the first day

06. March 2024
Today marked the first day of the Congress of the European People’s Party in Bucharest, co-hosted by Partidul Naţional Liberal (PNL), EPP President Manfred WEBER and EPP Secretary General Thanasis BAKOLAS. The Congress opened with welcome remarks from PNL President Nicolae CIUCĂ, RMDSZ President Hunor KELEMEN and EPP President Weber, and was followed by interventions from EPP non-EU Heads of State or Government, non-EU opposition and party leaders. The delegates of our member parties overwhelmingly adopted the EPP Manifesto for the 2024 European Parliament elections, entitled “Our Europe, a safe and good home for our people”. The document presents the EPP’s vision for the next institutional cycle (2024-2029) and the European centre-right’s views on issues such as security and defence, competitiveness and migration, focused always on the prosperity of the citizens of Europe. During the first day of our Congress, the participants had the opportunity to follow an engaging exchange of views on critical issues for the future of Europe such as economy and jobs, security and defence, and intergenerational solidarity and fairness. Finally, the Congress delegates passed the following six resolutions: Ordinary Resolutions
  • Passing legislation allowing EU member states to expropriate frozen Russian property.
  • Resolution on the defence of the rule of law in the European Union.
  • Rural mobility, fostering European agriculture competitiveness and improving demography and the vitality of rural areas.
Emergency Resolutions
  • On the EU Plan for the victory of Ukraine
  • Implementation of the Rule of Law in Albania – The Case of Beleris
  • Child exposure to online content
The above-mentioned resolution and all the information regarding the first day of the EPP Congress in Bucharest can be found on the dedicated website. The documents can be found here: www.epp2024.eu
