“Members of Parliament across Europe are experiencing a cross-current of pressures: unexpected crises, new and evolving challenges, a change in public expectations. Politicians must respond by upholding the space in which representative democracy does its job: our Parliaments”, highlighted Secretary General Marija Pejčinović Burić at the opening of the European Conference of Presidents of Parliament in Dublin.

The event, a major European parliamentary summit, takes place every two years under the auspices of PACE hosted alternately in Strasbourg and in the capital of a Council of Europe member state.

 “Never have democracy, human rights and the rule of law been so deeply embedded in European societies. Yet, at the same time, never have these values faced greater, continent-wide challenge in the post-Second World War era. Parliaments and their Presidents have been central to what has been built”, concluded Marija Pejčinović Burić.
