Manfred Weber’s longevity as leader of the EU’s most powerful party
Description
The conservative European People’s Party (EPP) is meeting in Valencia for the party's triennial congress. During this two-day event, Manfred Weber, who has been leading the EPP party since 2022 and the EPP group since 2014, is expected to be re-elected. What is behind Weber’s longevity at the helm of the EU’s most powerful political family? And as he is running unopposed, does this vote constitute unanimous support?
Euronews' Sandor Zsiros travelled to Valencia to put these questions to Weber himself. Meanwhile, we spoke with our European Parliament reporter Vincenzo Genovese about how to interpret this result.
We also look at a closed-door meeting of the EU Ministers for Environment and Climate, focusing on climate disinformation, and the top European countries for property investors in 2025.
