Title: Two Bulgarian MEPs Leave ‘ Renovate Europe’ Group After DPS Conference
Bulgarian Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) Elena Yoncheva and Taner Kabiov have resigned from the European Parliament’s ‘Renovate Europe’ group. The two MEPs, who are members of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS), submitted an official letter to European Parliament President Roberto Metsola and the group’s leadership to announce their decision.
The move follows the National Conference of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, held on December 22, 2024, in Sofia. In their letter, Yoncheva and Kabiov cited the Declaration and decisions taken at the conference as the basis for their decision.
"The Declaration and decisions adopted by the supreme body of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms – the National Conference, held on 22.12.2024 in Sofia, which determine the basic principles and strategic goals, lead us to end our membership in the ‘Renovate Europe’ Group as MEPs representing DPS," the letter reads.
While the reasons behind this political shift are not explicitly stated, the announcement underscores the strategic direction taken by the DPS following its conference. The European Parliament hasYet to comment on this development. As Bulgaria remains an active player in European politics, the implications of this decision will be closely watched by political observers and the European political scene.
