25/02/2009

On the 25th of February Nikolay Mladenov and MGERB – Sofia held a presentation about the functioning of the European Union and its institutions in 128th school in Sofia. The activity was part of the national initiative of MGERB “European Diary”, which had started in the end of the preceding year. The idea was suggested by the eurodeputies of MGERB – Nikolay Mladenov and Vladimir Uruchev and the youth participated in trainings in Rousse and Brussels.

Except Mr. Mladenov and members of MGERB – Sofia – Borislav Borisov and Nikolay Dimitrov, the meeting was attended by Miss Monika Panayotova – chairwoman of MGERB, the eurodeputy’s staff, Mrs. Marieta Petleshkova – vice mayor of Mladost region and Mrs. Emilia Ilieva – headmaster of 128th school.





The unusual school class was opened by Miss Monika Panayotova with the unaging words of Konrad Adenauer spoken 60 years ago – "The unity of Europe was the dream of a few. It became the hope of many. Today it has become a necessity for all of us”. According to her the value of those words was not reading the past but reading the future. After that the young representatives of GERB spoke shortly about the history of the European union and the rights of the consumers in it. In the end of the meeting Mr. Mladenov informed the students about the institutions of EU and the daily round work of the Bulgarian eurodeputies between Bulgaria – Strasbourg – Brussels and about the meaning of the “colour weeks” included in the deputies schedule.

Apart from Sofia the presentation of the “European diary” continues in the rest of the cities of Bulgaria.
