MGERB was invited to attend a meeting between scholarship students from the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung with the bureau of the foundation. The meeting took place on the 13th of October from 19:00 o’clock in the Architect’s Club in Sofia. The topic of the meeting was “Elections in Germany, elections in Bulgaria. What will change?” The discussion was opened by the director of the Sofia office of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation - Dr. Andreas von Below, who welcomed all the participants and congratulated the scholarship students.

During the meeting every participant had the opportunity to express their opinion and view on the past elections in Bulgaria and Germany.

MGERB Sofia was represented by Tania Tsvetkova. She used the opportunity to express the gratitude of MGERB for the cooperation and support received from the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. The past elections were the highlight of the discussion and especially the active role of the young, as well as the fact that there are 21 members of parliament below the age of 35 from the parliamentary group of GERB.

The three main priorities of the Young Citizens for the European Development of Bulgaria were introduced to the participants. The three main priorities are the development of its members (there was a highlight on the multiple Summer Universities organised by MGERB and MGERB’s Third Political Academy which will take place at the end of this month) the conduction of civil initiatives on national and local level and active international activity.

A lot of question occurred during the meeting about the role of the young during the elections and their role in politics as a whole.

Opportunities for the future cooperation between MGERB and the scholarship students of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation were discussed.
