Fianna Fàil joins ELDR

After fruitful negotiations, the European Liberal and Democrat party welcomed Fianna Fàil as a new ELDR member party.

The Irish newcomer will see the ELDR party establish itself as a key player for the forthcoming European elections. For ELDR, Fianna Fàil's membership will bring to the liberal family a new and interesting perspective from a strong party currently in government.

The number of parties belonging to the European liberal family has risen to 58 with the inclusion of two new observer members, the Spanish Centro Democratico Liberal (CDL) and the Slovakian Slobodné fórum (Free Forum).
