MEP Ilhan Kyuchyuk of the Renew Europe Group has been elected chair of the European Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee. 

"Today I have been elected Chair of the Legal Affairs Committee of the European Parliament. Whenever I have been elected to high positions, I have always said that this is a success for Bulgaria and the DPS," Kyuchyuk wrote on social media. 

"The Legal Affairs Committee has an important institutional role and legislative competence in key areas. I look forward to constructive work based on the strength of the different perspectives and expertise of the committee members," he said after his election to the post.
