Candidacy for ALDE party Vice President

May 23, 2022

I am running for ALDE Party Vice President to contribute future proofing the ALDE Party. With the brutal unfolding of the biggest conflict of our time, democracy vs. autocracy, we need to increase our efforts to boost the liberal message. We need an efficient and strong party to shape the future of Europe and the EU. A party that grows through its diversity and works for a strong political platform will be able to execute a 2024 elections campaign that will win the hearts and minds of Europeans.

As a Member of the European Parliament, I serve in the Committees for Internal Market and International Trade and work as a strong advocate for a digital Europe, citizens’ rights and free trade. I am committed to politics that create opportunities for people to shape a better tomorrow for themselves.

 

My experience in the European liberal family has turned me into a passionate European by heart. As the First Vice-President of the European Liberal Forum, I work with our liberal foundations. As a former President of the European Liberal Youth(LYMEC) I experienced the diversity of our continent, engaged in campaigns on all levels and gained insights into the ALDE Party as a former ex officio member of the Party Bureau and a member of the 2019 Election Manifesto Committee. As an alumna of the Alliance of Her, I see the female liberal leadership growing.

 

ALDE is a platform of networking, learning and growing together. I am ready to dedicate my leadership experience, my passion and my liberal convictions into forming ALDE into the future shaping liberal force Europe needs in these challenging times.

 

I am grateful that my party the German liberal FDP has nominated me to run as a Vice President for our European Party ALDE. As a Vice President, I want to achieve:
