USR PLUS Chairman-elect Dacian Ciolos says that on Monday he will go to Strasbourg and will discuss with the members of Renew Europe about the election of a new leader of the group in the European Parliament.
"I have announced this since the campaign. I have already informed my colleagues in the Renew group that I am stepping down from the position of the group's president. Tomorrow I will go to Strasbourg to have a direct discussion with them, with the leadership of the group, to organize elections there as well for the position of president of the group and I will be here - this is the bet I made with myself and this is the promise I made to those who voted for me," Ciolos told a press conference held on Sunday, at the party headquarters.
He mentioned that he wants USR PLUS to become the main right-wing party on the political spectrum, following the 2024 elections, Agerpres.ro informs.
"The goal is to be prepared for 2024, to become the main right-wing party. That means we need to grow the party, strengthen it in terms of public voice and membership. That means strengthening the branches, setting up new branches, bringing in new members, organizing ourselves in such a way that our elected representatives, at local level - local councilors, county councilors, mayors - receive support from the party, because they are the voice of USR PLUS at local level. And, obviously, we will see in the next period - the next days, weeks - if we re-enter the government or in opposition and, depending on that, we will see how we organize our public presence at national level," said Dacian Ciolos.
