🗣️ VDL gave the annual State of the Union speech yesterday - there were gaps we cannot ignore. 🏠 Youth issues barely made the agenda, and only mentioned regarding the housing crisis. LYMEC agrees: affordable housing is a top priority, addressing high rents, property prices, and housing insecurity.

🎉 This year’s Autumn Digital Assembly is a wrap! 💬 Thank you to everyone who joined in for such an important conversation about #authoritarianism in #Serbia and the ongoing student protests. We’d like to thank Mladi PSG, Pokret Slobodnih Građana and FNF Western Balkans for supporting this event.

Welcome to our #DigitalAssembly! Today we’re discussing the #StudentProtests in Serbia with three incredible activists. Join us online and ask your questions! 🚀

What liberals bring to the table…🤔 Whether it’s calling out deepfakes🤖🚫, protecting our rights, or standing with #Ukraine💙💛, what we bring is a vision of #democracy worth defending. We fact-check, defend #liberty, and protect our freedoms. ✊

😨 This what a far-right led world looks like. The personal freedoms and protections that we all enjoy would be no longer. #Diversity would be a thing of the past, women would become repressed and #LGBTQ+ rights would be stripped back. Hate is on the rise, but together we can shut it down. 🧠

#Bulgaria is set to join the #eurozone on 1 January 2026 and our newest article by Vasil Petkov explores the implications and underlying challenges of the ongoing switch over. For young Bulgarians, it’s a signal of belonging to a modern, united #Europe. Check out the article on our website!

Wildfires are tearing through Europe. From Scotland to the Mediterranean. Communities displaced. Nature destroyed. Wildlife lost. We call on the EU to unite and deliver faster, coordinated aid, before every summer becomes a season of ashes. Read our full statement: www.lymec.eu/documents/co...

📣 Join us for the Digital Assembly on 30 August 2025, 10:00-12:30 CEST! 💻 ✨ Speakers include: 🔹 Ines Holzegger, LYMEC President 🔹 Pavle Grbović, MP & PSG President 🔹 Konstantin Malaev, PSG Youth member & activist

While the #EU was busy trying to save our economy from ruin, guess who was out back, whispering sweet nothings about “sovereignty” and “strong borders”? That’s right: Donald #Trump and Viktor #Orbán, caught red-handed after romancing with autocracy for far too long. 💋

🤔Why do people turn to the far-right?🤔 To challenge the rise, we must understand its roots.💭 🚨 Fear often disguises itself as hate. When we confront those fears, we take back control of the narrative.💡 🧠 Understanding the triggers gives liberals the upper hand in the fight against the far-right.

🕯️ 30 years ago in Srebrenica, over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were murdered by the Bosnian Serb army. As war returns to Europe and hate resurfaces, remembrance must be a call to action to defend peace and democracy. 🔗Full statement : bit.ly/4ksOOZ7
