Beata Szydło has officially confirmed her new role within the European Parliament, as first reported by WP on Wednesday. The former head of government will lead the Polish delegation of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR). Szydło publicized the appointment by sharing a photograph with the chairman of PiS, depicting the handing over of her nomination. This confirms earlier reporting regarding her position within the ECR group. The appointment marks a new chapter for Szydło within the European political landscape, following her time as Poland’s prime minister. The ECR is a right-wing European political group.
