Liberal House Opening 

About the event

After the relocation of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom Europe (FNF Europe) into the same building as the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE), the European Liberal Forum (ELF), and LYMEC, it was decided to brand the premises as the Liberal House.  

All four organizations are planning a celebratory opening reception to mark this occasion. The aim of the event is to promote the new brand and present liberalism in Europe as a united front. The reception.
