The Tyrolean MEP and federal party chairman brings many years of experience, well-founded European political competence and a clear commitment to a strong, united Europe.
“I congratulate Sophia Kircher warmly on her choice as a Yepp President. With her, Austria’s youth receives a powerful voice at European level. The Yepp combines over 50 youth organizations from 40 countries-the more gratifying is that with Sophia Kircher, a committed and competent Austrian was chosen at this important platform for young Christian democrats,” said Reinhold Lopatka, said, “said Reinhold Lopatka,” Head of the ÖVP delegation in the European Parliament.
Kircher not only has broad political experience at state, federal and European levels, but also a deep understanding of the concerns of young people. She has been active within the Yepp for over a decade, most recently as the first vice president, and has contributed significantly to the content and structural development of the organization.
“Sophia Kircher stands for a pro-European, future-oriented policy that takes young perspectives seriously and translates into concrete impulses. In her new function, she brings fresh swing into European youth policy and sets a strong sign of the importance of young voices within the EVP family.
