Ireland’s Séamus Boland has been elected President of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) for the 2025–2028 term of office. A lifelong advocate for rural communities and social inclusion, he will guide the EU body representing organised civil society for two and a half years. His programme is devoted to providing opportunities through poverty eradication, securing democracy by protecting civic space, and ensuring the transition to a more competitive and green economy in a way that doesn’t leave anyone behind.
RRI’s Eugen Cojocariu has discussed with Mr. Boland shortly after his election.
