HAPPY EUROPE DAY! 🎉 On this Europe Day, young liberals across our continent stand united for a simple idea: The answer to today’s challenges is not less Europe. It is mooooooooooooore Europe! 🇪🇺

What happened last night is truly unacceptable. At moments like these, everyone should stand united across political differences in defense of democracy, the rule of law, and each other. We stand with our members at @jongedemocraten.bsky.social 🩷

We often underestimate the influence of gender on our daily lives. Across Europe, young women are under-represented in STEM fields, frequently preferring social sciences and humanities. True liberal progress dismantles structural barriers so everyone can thrive! 💪

Have you ever experienced side effects when taking medication, or encountered skepticism from medical staff? In healthcare, gender inequality continue to shape the lives of women across Europe. If we truly care about equality, we need to push harder and hold ourselves to a higher standard!
