Dear Friends,
You know how much I feel honoured to become, as the new President of the EESC, also the new co-chair of the Liaison Group, this unique body that works relentlessly to strengthen the structured cooperation between European civil society organisations and EU institutions within the EESC.
Over the years, I have always been a big defender of the role of civil society as I believe they are at the heart of any democratic system, they are the agents of change in our societies.
