Alde is an umbrella organisation for liberal parties throughout Europe, including outside the EU. A big question for liberals is what is the best strategy to counter right-wing populism and nationalism.
In Sweden, the Center Party has chosen to turn its back on the Sweden Democrats, while the Liberals have done the opposite by governing with the party. In the European Parliament, this election has led to demands that the Liberals should be thrown out of the Liberal party group, something that has not been accepted.
