MEP Traian Ungureanu meets with religion journalists from Romania

Traian Ungureanu, MEP for Romania, met with a group of twenty religion journalists from Romania at the European Parliament in Brussels on Friday, March 8, 2019.

Mr. Ungureanu spoke about the efforts made by Romania’s representatives to defend the country’s interests in the European institutions.

Traian Ungureanu pointed to the importance of understanding the benefits of Romania’s membership in the European Union.

He said that although sometimes the efforts made by the MEPs are huge, additional solutions must always be identified to defend national interests and values.

MEP Ungureanu referred to the upcoming election for the EP, in May 2019, and shared his views on the challenges that the European Union faces today.

The Romanian journalists had the chance to talk with Delphine Colard, press officer at the EP Spokesperson’s Unit, about disinformation and fake news.

In addition, Cristina Bogdan, an editor at the Web Communication Unit of the DG for Communication, held a seminar on the European institutions and their way of operation.

She explained the way the European Parliament relates to the press and the public.

On Friday, the Romanian journalists visited the European Parliament Hemicycle, where plenary sessions are held.
