🚨 The Russian Prosecutor General has labeled @aldeparty.bsky.social & #LYMEC as "undesirable."

We see this as recognition of our firm stance against Putin’s war & repression. We stand for democracy and human rights.

At the time I was in LYMEC ("Liberal Youth Movements of the European Communities"), the main Hungarian party was FIDESZ.

As a member of LYMEC in the 1990s, you are not wrong. Left-liberalism had four parties in that era: Alliance (NI), Radikal Venstre (DK), D66 (NL) and Lib Dems (GB).

There were right-liberals in Germany, NL and the Nordics.

The CEE parties were changing so fast then I couldn't keep up.

How much of this is "future Labour MPs have a lot less money in their twenties than future Tory/Lib Dem MPs" and so they don't go to YES summer camps the way we go to LYMEC and Tories to EDS?

Full support for our ALDE and LYMEC partners in their defense of the rights of Russian citizens who are facing increasing repression and elimination of all forms of dissent. When defenders of freedom are silenced it is freedom itself that is attacked.
🚨 Today, the Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia labeled ALDE Party and our youth wing @lymec.bsky.social as “undesirable organisations”.
