On the congress three co-chairs were elected – MEP Ivars Ijabs, Minister of Environmental Protection and Regional Development Artūrs Toms Plešs, and Priekuļi municipality chair Eīna Stapulone.
The congress participants were addressed by Defense Minister Artis Pabriks, MP Juris Puce, Riga City Council lawmakers Anete Jekabsone-Zogota, the party’s board member Edgars Jaunups.
