Information for MGERB

The history of the Youth Organisation of the Political Party of GERB (MGERB) began during April 2006. Then it supported the activities of the Association of GERB with a multitude of initiatives, as it spread the principles of the civil society in the context of European integration.

Conducting seminars, round tables, trainings and civil initiatives, MGERB drew many followers, which is a step towards the next stage of the development of the organisation.

After the establishment of the Political Party of GERB and the acquirement of membership in the big European family of the European People’s Party (EPP), comes the moment for the official establishment of MGERB. This happened on the 24th of February 2008, when more then 600 delegates from the whole country chose their leadership and accepted the main documents of the organisation during the Establishment Assembly.

The youth of GERB are an inseparable part of the political party.
The shared values of MGERB are: liberal democracy, freedom, family, humanism, justice, dignity, citizenship, peace, responsibility and tolerance.

Corresponding to its dynamic strategy for development, MGERB has the three following priorities.
I. Training of members, accomplished on:
national level through the Political Academy to the Political Party of GERB, a traditional Summer University, National trainings of MGERB; on regional level through: a great number of seminars, round tables, local trainings – initiated by the MEP’s from GERB and others, international training seminars, work visits to the institutions of the European Union; the headquarters of the sisterly parties of GERB, right-orientated organisations.
II. Conducting civil initiatives on national and regional level, which have the target to popularise the values of the Political Party of GERB, the principles of civil society, the democratic governance and the lawful country.
III. Active international activity, expressed in: the processes of the acquirement of membership in the two youth organisations of the European People’s Party: the European Democrat Students (EDS) and the Youth Organisation of the European People’s Party (YEPP), making contacts and trans-border cooperation with other right political youth organisations on the Balkans.

The perspectives for the development of the organisation, as well as the accomplished so far, is due to: from one side the energy, motivation and will for real actions of the youths and from the other side to the daily cooperation of the leadership of the party, the kind cooperation of the Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSS), the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS), the International Republican Institute (IRI) and the close cooperation with the European Democrat Students (EDS), the Youth of the European People’s Party (YEPP), the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and center-right youth political organisations from the Balkans.
