The European Liberal Youth (LYMEC) is a broad organization representing young liberals from all across Europe, which I have the honor of representing as president. We are vocal on issues such as freedom, our European future, fighting populism, sustainability, and digitization. We know that if we don’t stand up for our ideas, no one will.
