Members of the Political Assembly of the European People’s Party gathered in Brussels on 8 and 9 December. The meeting was chaired by EPP President Manfred Weber and Secretary General Dolors Montserrat. A special intervention was held by Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament.
A key highlight of the meeting was a high-level panel discussion on Europe’s growing housing crisis, a challenge that demands coordinated action across all levels of government.
