During the ALDE Party Council, held in collaboration with our Finnish member parties SFP and Keskusta under the slogan “Securing Tomorrow”, liberal leaders and members gathered to discuss the future of European security and defence policies.
“Our family is in the driving seat when it comes to security - we need to take decisive steps towards a stronger and safer Europe. The EU must rise to become an economic superpower, a defence superpower and a diplomatic superpower, not for the sake of power but for the sake of surviving as a democracy. We need a united front to defend democracy against autocracies,” said ALDE Party President Svenja Hahn in her opening speech.
European liberals adopted nine urgency resolutions on current affairs topics, ranging from the freedom to assembly in Hungary to Ukraine's integration into the EU. Click here for more.
