Wouter Beke, new president of the European Movement in Belgium

 

Wouter Beke, MEP for the CD&V and member of the European People's Party group, was elected today as president of the European Movement in Belgium. "In uncertain times, let us unite young and old around a Europe that protects and unites," he declared.

 

The European Movement in Belgium is the national section of the European Movement International. It works for a strong, united, and democratic Europe by bringing together citizens, organizations, and decision-makers around the European project and the shared values of the Union.

With the election of Wouter Beke, the Movement has chosen a president with extensive experience at local, regional (Flemish) and European levels, and a strong commitment to European cooperation.

 

"The European project deserves an active defence today more than ever. In a world full of uncertainty, Europe provides answers and offers the best protection in terms of security, prosperity, and shared values. As president, I also want to connect generations and unite young and old around this common project. This is how we will build a Europe that protects and unites. I look forward to taking on this challenge, surrounded by a strong team," said Wouter Beke.

 

"We are proud that Wouter Beke is joining the European Movement. Just look at the news: our future will be European – or it will not be", added Ruben Lombaert, Secretary General.

 

This election comes at a pivotal moment: trust in the European Union is at its highest level in 18 years, while concerns about security and geopolitical tensions continue to grow. For the European Movement in Belgium, this is the ideal moment to deepen the public debate on European integration and involve citizens of all ages.

 

Wouter Beke brings not only political experience but also a resolutely pro-European outlook. As a member of the largest European political group, he benefits from an extensive network within the EU institutions.

On the road to more prosperity in the European Union – how can we boost our competitiveness and the integration of our internal market?

 

Europe is at a crossroads. Driven by renewed ambitions – such as the Letta & Draghi reports, the Clean Industrial Deal, and the simplification agenda of the von der Leyen Commission – our continent still has to face a harsh reality: a slowdown in the development of new technologies (such as artificial intelligence), the fragmentation of the internal market, and a regulatory framework that too often slows down innovation and SMEs.

 

Between industrial ambitions, competitive pressure from China and the United States, and the complexity of our own rules, how can we reconcile growth and social cohesion and reconnect with the goal of improving prosperity for our citizens?

 

The event will take place on June 4 at 7:00 PM at the Auderghem town hall, 12 Emile Idiers Street, 1160 Oudergem.
