ELDR welcomes a new liberal party

eldr, Tuesday 21 October 2008 14:43 ::

The Spanish Centro Democratico Liberal (CDL) today held a joint press conference in Brussels with Annemie Neyts, President of the ELDR Party, and Graham Watson, Leader of the ALDE Group in the European Parliament to announce the launch of a new political initiative in Spain and their desire for strong cooperation with the European Liberal Democrats.

CDL has envisaged the possibility of creating a federation of Spanish centrist and regionalist (local) parties. Both the ELDR Party and ALDE Group expressed their support to the party's plans.

Welcoming the new initiative, Annemie Neyts noted the urgency of putting the liberal values and ideas of CDL into action, especially in a country which gave birth to some prestigious liberal personalities like: former Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez, José Ortega y Gasset and Salvador de Madariaga. "It has always been difficult to translate liberal ideas into actions" - she said. "I hope CDL, with its president Manuel Alonso, can facilitate this process. I wish all the best to the initiative". "We sincerely hope to become a member of ELDR and to reinforce the ALDE group with CDL MEPs", Alonso concluded.
