Last week, the Renew Europe Group in the European Parliament unveiled its new governance structure, following the election of Stéphane Séjourné MEP as the new President of the Group, which now comprises 100 MEPs from 23 EU Member States.

The new Presidency of the Group, which fully respects gender parity, is comprised of a President, a First Vice-President and 13 Members, each appointed a portfolio and aimed at expanding the Group and maximising its pan-European and parliamentary impact ahead of the 2024 European elections. Task forces and delegates have also been appointed on structural aspects towards 2024 and thematic priorities, in line with Renew Europe’s recent Paris Declaration.

Séjourné, President of Renew Europe said:

"We have in place a gender balanced team of all the talents, prepared and capable to reinvent the European Union. For Renew Europe, the 2024 European election campaign is a permanent campaign.”

“Renew Europe’s intention is to build a strong alliance of pro-European, liberal, democrat and progressive parties willing to defend and enhance liberal democracy and European integration. Renew Europe is the European movement that will stand up to the populists and nationalists determined to weaken Europe and erode the rights and opportunities of citizens.”
