After more than a month, Georgians are fighting to re-establish the rule of law in their country and to respect the European promise.

“The center is the answer” : the conference of the European Democratic Party
At the Brussels Autoworld Museum, where the history of the European automotive industry is celebrated, the Congress of the European Democratic Party, one of the two European parties that make up the Renew Europe group in the European Parliament, will be held.
