Invitation to the European Pirate Party 15th Council meeting
This invitation was sent to the members 20/12/2023
Dear Pirate Parties,
It is my pleasure to formally invite you all to the next European Pirate Party Council meeting, that will take place on January 27th, in Hesperange, Luxembourg. The Council meeting will start at 12:30 and continue for the rest of the day. It will be followed by an EU election event on the 28th, where we present our lead candidates and the Common European Election Program, so please come to Luxembourg for the whole Weekend! To ensure that those unable to travel can still participate, the Council meeting will be organised in hybrid form. This is Council meeting will be our last before the European elections, so I hope to see a huge turnout! We will not only elect a new board for the European Pirates during the meeting, but also elect our Lead Candidates for the upcoming European Elections. You can find information about the venue in Hesperange here: https://www.hesperange.lu/fr/lieux/centre-multifonctionnel-celo
