On 22-24 March, ALDE Party’s youth wing European Liberal Youth (LYMEC) held its Spring Congress, electing new members of its Bureau, welcoming three new members and adopting three resolutions. 

Several liberal leaders including ALDE Party Co-Presidents Ilhan Kyuchyuk and Timmy Dooley, Secretary General Didrik de Schaetzen and Belgium’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Hadja Lahbib attended the event in Brussels and addressed members. 

Don't believe the cynics. Liberal forces can win elections.

Our unity is our biggest strength.

Thank you for having me at your #LYMECCongress. pic.twitter.com/93MgzvCytp
