European liberals don’t suffer from the crisis and keep intact their share
The ELDR party MEPs are set to strengthen their influence in the next European Parliament as they increase their MEPs relative to 2004 and to the EDP members, with whom they form the current ALDE Group. ELDR MEPs within the liberal group are expected to bring 75 out of the 84 total seats. ELDR still maintains more than 10% of influence in the EP Parliament.

A good reason to celebrate the victory
Contrary to the PES accusations and expectations, ELDR records a guinness presence of women into the new MEPs’ team. According to the last lists coming from our member parties, almost half of the new MEP will be women.

Kasyanov comments the ELDR results
M. Michael Kasyanov sent us his special encouragement and wishes: “ […] I would like to congratulate all our colleagues in the ELDR, who have confirmed their mandate or became members of European Parliament for the first time. I am confident that the new liberal parliamentary group, as before, will be resolutely upholding the values of freedom and democracy, and express the principled opinion on what is happening in the European Union and beyond. We expect that the newly formed European institutions will not turn a blind eye to violations of human rights and democratic standards, which are now routinely occurring in Russia.”

FDP celebrates its triumph in Germany
“Thank you dear voters for the fantastic result. FDP achieved a historic record result in European elections. We will work for Germany in Europe and make sure to get a common European financial services supervision, to maintain the growth and stability pact and a strong Euro, for less bureaucracy and more civil rights.” Free Democratic Party (FDP) MEP Silvana Koch-Mehrin said.

Special thanks
The ELDR party wants to share the success of the European liberals’ achievement with all its members and in particular with the liberal “e-ambassadors”, the many people active in different social networks, the party leaders and with all the young people eager to bring the European liberal philosophy ahead their personal expectations and ambitions.
