The European People's Party Congress ahead of the 2024 European Parliament election will be hosted by the National Liberal Party (PNL) in Bucharest, PNL leader Nicolae Ciuca announced on Tuesday, noting that the EPP's decision in this regard shows "the confidence enjoyed by the National Liberal Party and President Klaus Iohannis within the largest European political family"."The decision of the European People's Party to hold its next congress, in 2024, in Bucharest, is one that strengthens Romania's position on the international political map. By bringing to our country the work of the most important decision-making forum of the main European party, the EPP is sending a message of support for this part of the continent that has made great efforts in the context of the invasion of Russian armed forces in Ukraine," Nicolae Ciuca said in a Facebook post.The event will be attended by over 2,000 delegates from more than 40 countries, including all heads of state and government and EPP party chairpersons, along with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, as well as European commissioners who are part of the European People's Party political family, informs a PNL press release on Tuesday."By organising this Congress, the PNL will provide a framework for pro-European debate. I am convinced that all the decisions we will make in Bucharest will contribute to winning the European Parliamentary elections, something that will strengthen the EPP as the main political force for the next 5 years," stressed PNL MEP Siegfried Muresan, vice-president of the European People's Party, according to the cited source.
