D. Papadimoulis re-elected Vice President of the European Parliament

The head of the Eurogroup of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance Dimitris Papadimoulis was re-elected today to the position of Vice President of the European Parliament, for the fourth consecutive time. The Greek MEP, who was unanimously nominated by the presidency of the Left Eurogroup for the position of vice-president, received 492 positive votes out of a total of 658 valid ballots (74.77%).

After his re-election, Dim. Papadimoulis stated:

“I warmly thank the MEPs who honored me again with their confidence, with a large majority, from a wide political spectrum.

I am very pleased because two of the fourteen vice presidents are from Greece. I congratulate Eva Kailis for her election and look forward to a constructive cooperation for the good of our country.

For the next 2.5 years I will continue to represent in the Bureau of the European Parliament and the European Left and of course my homeland Greece.

For a stronger European Parliament. For a more united, democratic, social and ecological Europe. “With more transparency, democracy and solidarity and less inequality.”
