The need for a strong, well-articulated, future-oriented answer from ELDR, the European political party that embodies liberalism has never been greater. I intend to spend a large amount of my time helping ELDR meet the huge challenges it is faced with”, declared Annemie Neyts in her mission statement for the party presidency.

Together with the other Bureau members, the ELDR President sets the direction for the European Liberal Democrats and is the voice of the party.
