Younous Omarjee (France) has been unanimously re-elected to continue exercising his role as a President of the Committee on the Regional Development (REGI) at the European Parliament. The politician, who hails from and represents the island of Réunion, will continue leading that legislative body in its work on crafting territorial cohesion policies.
This month, Mr Omarjee also celebrates a decade since first being elected as a European Parliament MP. He represents the political platform of La France Insoumise, which itself forms part of the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left (GUE/NGL).
