#RenewEurope to block Hungary's Fidesz and Poland's #PiS nominees
At today's (9 July) #RenewEurope (formerly ALDE) group meeting, members unanimously adopted a proposal to vote against candidates of the governing Fidesz (HU) and PiS (PL - Law and Justice Party) parties, in their bid to become Parliamentary Committee chairs and vice chairs. The previous parliament adopted resolutions both in the case of Poland and Hungary to launch Article 7 procedures against both governments, who are clearly in breach of European values.
Renew Europe's President Dacian Cioloş (pictured) said: "Renew Europe is founded on values, supporting democracy and the rule of law. Tomorrow we will not vote candidates for committee chairs or vice-chairs who are from governing parties from countries subject to an article 7 procedure.
"Renew Europe recommends the EPP and ECR put forward more suitable candidates, who respect our common European values."
