The EU's largest political party's congress gathered in Zagreb on
Wednesday (20 November) to nominate outgoing EU Council president Donald
Tusk as their new president - as Poland's former prime minister was the
only candidate for the position.
With new leadership, the centre-right European People's Party (EPP) said it was ready to work on a concrete political strategy to tackle the challenges of the EU's enlargement process and climate change - the two main concerns of the political group at their congress, amid their unfinished battle against Hungary's ruling party Fidesz.
"I am ready to fight" for Christian-Democratic European values and against populism, said Tusk.
"I deeply believe that only those who want and are able to give people a feeling of safety and security, preserving at the same time their freedoms and rights, have a mandate to run for power," he added.
