LYMEC does not tolerate the manipulative tactics of Belarusian authorities

On Sunday around 10.000 courageous Belarusian opposition representatives celebrated the Freedom Day commemorating the Belarusian People’s Republic, which existed back in the early XIX century. Each year this historical day reminds to Belarusians of their freedom and independence from Russia. Due to the serious manipulative actions taken by the government on the rally day, LYMEC urges the EU leaders to maintain the existing sanctions to the oppressors in Belarus.
Even though this time the Belarusian authorities allowed the demonstrators to gather, yet pushing them to the non–central area of the city, and even tolerated the foreigners coming inside the country, LYMEC views it clearly as a manipulative tactics - a government’s performance of fake acceptance to further absorb the opposition. Young European liberals condemn the arrest of over fifty people during the demonstration on Sunday.

Road To Serfdom: Errors of Economic Centralization

In 16-18th of February New Economic School Georgia and Friedrich Nauman Stiftung Organized Seminar About Friedrich August von Hayek and His Famous Book "The Road toSerfdom" The event took place in Gurjaani, Georgia

Friedrich August von Hayek, CH(May 8, 1899 in Vienna – March 23, 1992 in Freiburg) was an Austrian-born British economist and political philosopher known for his defense of liberal democracy and free-market capitalism against socialist and collectivist thought in the mid-20th century. He is considered to be one of the most important economists and political philosophers of the twentieth century.One of the most influential members of the Austrian School of economics, he also made significant contributions in the fields of jurisprudence and cognitive science. He shared the 1974 Nobel Prize in Economics with ideological rival Gunnar Myrdal "for their pioneering work in the theory of money and economic fluctuations and for their penetrating analysis of the interdependence of economic, social and institutional phenomena."He also received the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1991.

The Road to Serfdom is a book written by Friedrich Hayek (recipient of a Nobel Prize in Economics) and originally published by Routledge Press in March 1944 in the UK and then by the University of Chicago in September 1944. In April, 1945, Reader's Digest published a slightly shortened version of the book, which eventually reached more than 600,000 readers. Around 1950 a picture-book version was published in Look Magazine, later made into a pamphlet and distributed by General Motors. The book has been translated into approximately 20 languages and is dedicated to "The socialists of all parties". The introduction to the 50th anniversary edition is written by Milton Friedman (another recipient of the Nobel Prize). The Road to Serfdom is among the most influential and popular expositions of classical liberalism and libertarianism.
This single book has significantly shaped the political ideologies of Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and the concepts of 'Reagonomics' and 'Thatcherism'. It also lead to the revival of classical liberal thinking in the West and lessening the socialist influence.

LYMEC Press Releases

Europe must seriously reconsider the use of safe nuclear energy

European Liberal Youth (LYMEC) welcomes European Commission’s proposal to develop an integrated energy and climate change package with the aim to cut emissions for the 21st Century. The European Commission, with the crucial input from the liberal commissioner on energy Andris Pielbags, has proposed a comprehensive package of measures to establish a new Energy Policy for Europe to combat climate change and boost the EU's energy security and competitiveness. The package of proposals set a series of ambitious targets on greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy and aim to create a true internal market for energy and strengthen effective regulation.
Back in March 2006 LYMEC was already advocating the creation of single and free market of energy after looking at the green paper on energy policy. Today LYMEC strives for more efficiency and use of low carbon energy.

Roger Albinyana i Saigí, LYMEC president, stated that “the Commission’s proposal goes in line with our political objectives to achieve a more sustainable, independent and efficient energy market, more reliable on the less polluting energy sources and realist with the progressive rise of Europe 's dependency on energy supply”.

Commenting on the Russia-Belarus oil row that led to an interruption in EU oil supplies, LYMEC president said: “This situation adds urgency to our drive towards a common energy policy. It is another demonstration that we need a common energy policy”. And he continued “If we want to succeed in our attempt to reduce by 20% the gas emissions by next decade, we definitely need to consider the possibility to use safe nuclear energy as a way to produce more electricity”.
