Laurent Schouteten new president of the EPP Youth

The 28-years old French UMP member Laurent Schouteten (photo) has been elected new president of the Youth of the European People's Party (YEPP) on Friday.

Schouteten has been a vice president of YEPP in the previous term and replaces the Greek Ioannis Smyrlis. It looks like both were running against each other for these elections.
