The current president of the European Parliament, Robert Mezzola, announced that the leaders of the political groups in the European Union will meet tomorrow at its first official meeting after the European elections, DPA reported, quoted by BTA.
Mezzola said the new parliament “will start working immediately”. “Also on Tuesday, the leaders of the political groups will gather for the first meeting of the parliamentary conference of presidents,“, she said.
Among other things, they must “take stock of the results of the European elections with a view to electing the next president of the European Commission and define the road map for the composition of the new parliament,” Mezzola said.
„In the coming weeks, political groups must be formed and majorities must be formed to work on a political program that will determine the direction of the EU in the coming years. On July 16, the new parliament will meet for its inaugural session in Strasbourg, she said.
„As the Speaker of the Parliament, I see today’s results as a sign of confidence from the people that the Parliament will continue to lead the European agenda for the next five years, but also as a signal that we need to work even harder to reach the people. Europe votes. “Democracy is alive and our parliament will be constructive and continue to work for all Europeans,” Mezzola said.
