Ursula von der Leyen at the EPP Congress in Bucharest. She is to be elected as the lead candidate at the meeting.

The Christian Democratic party family wants to enforce fixed quotas for refugees who are granted asylum in the EU for humanitarian reasons. This is the aim of the manifesto adopted by the party family in Bucharest at the start of the European election campaign. Today, Ursula von der Leyen must face the vote of the 800 delegates as the lead candidate.

The Christian Democrat EPP party family wants a stricter approach to asylum legislation. Asylum procedures should take place in third countries. To this end, migration agreements are to be concluded with other non-EU countries. This should ensure that „asylum seekers receive protection in a civilized and safe manner“. This is stated in the manifesto with which the EPP is entering the European election campaign. It was adopted by a large majority at the EPP congress with 800 delegates in Bucharest.
