At its 41st congress the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party, ALDE, elected Ilhan Kyuchyuk, a Bulgarian MEP from the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) co-president of ALDE by a wide margin.

In view of the continuing Covid situation the event was held in hybrid form in Brussels, Belgium.

It is good news that one of ALDE’s new co-presidents is from Eastern Europe. The liberals are broadening their geography in Europe and in this sense his election comes as recognition for the MRF, but also for Bulgaria and for the region, BNR’s Brussels correspondent Anguelina Piskova reports.
