Conference organized by Republikon Institute, supported by Friedrich Naumann Stiftung.
Republikon Institute and Friedrich Naumann Stiftung started a project called “Who should the liberals vote for?” at the beginning of this year. The aim of this project was to contribute to the orientation and mobilization of liberal voters by inviting a leading politician from every relevant political party to our series of events. As a closing event of this project, we organize an international conference where we wish to discuss the state of liberalism in Hungary and in CEE. Is liberalism on decline in CEE? How did the state of personal, civil and economic freedom change over the past few years?
