European liberals are gearing up for the European elections in 2024. To take on the mission, young liberals voted for the team that would lead them for the next two years, among other things, during the European Liberal Youth’s (LYMEC), ALDE Party’s youth wing, Spring Electoral Congress in Prague, Czech Republic.

The elections were more competitive than ever, with seven candidates running to become members of the LYMEC Bureau. Each candidate ran a very professional and knowledgeable campaign and we would like to congratulate the following members who make up the new LYMEC Bureau 2022-2024:

• President: Dan-Aria Sucuri (Sweden)
• Vice-President: Ines Holzegger (Austria)
• Treasurer: Tuuli Helind (Estonia)
• Bureau members: Laia Comerma (Catalonia, Spain), Alexandre Servais (Belgium), Ellinor Juth (Finland) and Tanzer Yuseinov (Bulgaria)

We have a new Bureau! 🤩

Youth are often the voices at the forefront of advocating for societies to improve and advance, to advance and improve, whether on issues of climate change or technology. And as you all know, @LYMEC holds a special place in the #liberal family. pic.twitter.com/jr9JBkj6qw
