Svenja Hahn – Representng you
in the European parliament!

Since my hometown Hamburg is part of the Hanseatic League and my parents led their own small company, the topic of trade has been with me my whole life. The single-market was the starting point of European unification and has been a success story ever since - it has brought advancement as well as wealth to the people and still bears so much more potential for Europe. As a Free Democrat, I strongly believe, that trade is also one of the best possibilities to strengthen international relations.

For young people, Europe is a promise - the promise to turn their dreams into reality. As President of the European Liberal Youth (LYMEC), I have traveled to 34 European countries and got to know many young, inspiring people and their stories. I am therefore committed to ensuring, that every young person in Europe has the same opportunities, regardless of their national and social background.

Politics needs diversity and more women in particular. Only with divers parliaments, we can tackle the issues and challenges of our time. We also need a shift in society - women must be met with more respect instead of prejudice. Generally, there must be a better compatibility of professional careers, private life and family for women.
