Valérie Hayer re-elected as Renew Europe President: “The Centre is Europe’s power and we are determined to shape it"
Renew Europe in the European Parliament this evening re-elected Valérie Hayer as President of its Group in the European Parliament, with a fresh mandate to champion a stronger Europe that addresses the cost of living, defends its freedoms and takes control of its future.
“I am honoured by the trust my colleagues have placed in me and determined to match that trust with action. Now, delivering requires a strong and reliable majority at Europe’s centre. Europe cannot be built with those who want to tear it apart. We need a detailed coalition agreement with clear priorities and commitments that all partners uphold. We will not support any candidate for Parliament’s presidency without that agreement. Europe’s political direction for the coming years must be settled before its top jobs.’’

Renew Europe leader warns: People believe in Europe, but increasingly doubt its ability to act for them. We must close that gap between belief and delivery, with a Europe that protects their security, improves their living standards and gives them confidence in the future.
Hayer highlights the fundamental ambition to grow the liberal and democratic family across Europe, deeply convinced that the liberal and centrist vision can win hearts, change minds and bring a new generation into politics.
The re-elected Chair of Liberals and Democrats urges to ease the pressures people face every day. Families struggling with energy bills, housing costs and food prices need answers they can feel in their household budgets. A more competitive Europe must mean better jobs, greater opportunities and a more affordable life.
"We will be radically pro-European, demanding a Europe that acts with the urgency and ambition its citizens deserve. The United States, China and Russia cannot be allowed to decide our future. We need to build a Europe with the means to defend itself, stand with Ukraine and protect its interests without depending on the goodwill of others."
