In the run-up of the elections for the European Parliament taking place on 6-9th June 2024, Churches in Europe have seized the initiative to take a stand. The three major Church networks on European level have published statements calling to participate in the elections and thus shape the future of Europe. As a European organisation itself, CoGREE welcomes the initiatives of the Churches to take part in the democratic possibilities to shape the European Union of today and tomorrow.
Read the statements on the corresponding platforms:
- Conference of European Churches (CEC): statement “”Europe, be yourself!” European elections 2024. An address to European institutions, MEP candidates and political parties” (together with Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union (COMECE), the Interparliamentary Assembly on Orthodoxy (IAO) and Together for Europe.)
- Community of Protestant Churches in Europe (CPCE): statement “European elections – current challenges call for responsibility and hope”
