In Europe | Manfred Weber

Europe

European integration opens up opportunities and chances for us that we would never have had alone, even as Germans. We have to seize these opportunities and make Europe better together. We need a Europe that puts people first.

Future

Europe is our future. We politicians are elected for the future, not for the past. Politics must shape the future with the goal of making people's lives better. I fight for a more humane and democratic Europe.

EPP Group

As Chairman of the EPP Group, I am committed to a Europe of values that is united, open, capable of action and above all close to its citizens. The European People's Party unites Christian Democratic and Liberal-Conservative parties from almost all Member States. With over 180 members of parliament, the EPP group is the strongest political force in the parliament.

Principles

Europe is not a melting pot. The greatest attraction and wealth is the diversity in the EU. Our task is to combine this diversity. I advocate not losing sight of what is essential. Not every problem in Europe is also a task for the EU.

Congratulations @RobertaMetsola! Today’s convincing election result shows that the constructive majority in the European Parliament wants to work together. It represents pro-European common sense in extremely challenging times. We are proud to stand by your side Roberta.

Na @EPPGroup na poziv @ManfredWeber s premijerom @kmitsotakis održao sam izlaganje o aktualnim izazovima pred 🇪🇺, kao i ključnim temama za 🇭🇷. Susret i s delegacijom @HDZ_HR u @Europarl_EN. Odajemo priznanje Davidu Sassoliju koji je svojim primjerom Europu približavao građanima.

Addio David. Grazie. On Friday we said goodbye to President #Sassoli at the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Rome. Today we payed respect to him in a ceremony in the @Europarl_EN. He was a man of strong convictions & close to people. We will continue our work in his memory

.@RobertaMetsola sera le visage d'un Parlement européen moderne, fort, où une jeune femme, issue du plus petit Etat membre de l’UE, peut devenir Présidente. Fier que le @EPPGroup porte le combat de la parité à la tête de l'Europe! @lopinion_fr

We are extremely proud to propose @RobertaMetsola as @EPPGroup candidate to become President of the European Parliament next week. She profoundly embodies Europe’s values, will passionately defend citizens’ interests and is an inspiration for woman & girls in Europe. #Metsola4EU

Roberta Metsola MEP @RobertaMetsola

I want people to believe in Europe. To re-capture that sense of hope & enthusiasm in our project. To stand up for those values that unite us as Europeans.

That's why I am standing to be the next President of our European Parliament.

Emotional moment as we payed respect to President Sassoli at the Campidoglio in Rome. He will always be remembered as a true European, a politician who inspired kindness. Touching to see so many people of all generations waiting to say farewell to @EP_President. #RestInPeace
