D66, The Netherlands
Laura de Vries, a 28-year-old candidate MEP for D66, is known as a “connector in a divided world. Her efforts focus primarily on three key issues: climate and migration. Laura strives for a Europe in which people fleeing war and violence are received humanely. She believes that everyone has the right to build a free and safe life. Besides her commitment to migration, climate is also close to her heart. She wants to work from Europe for a rapid transition to a climate-neutral Union. However, Laura emphasizes that this is only possible if everyone can and wants to participate. Therefore, she advocates ambitious and fair climate policies that involve and support everyone.
