Adrien Licha, Coordinator of the Secretariat and the Eastern Partnership Unit at ALDA, has been elected on behalf of ALDA as member of the Board of the European Movement – France along with 49 other members during its General Assembly that took place in Paris on Saturday, 17th of January 2026. The members of the Board are elected for 3 years, during which they define and approve the association’s annual action plan, in line with the project defined by the General Assembly.
Created in 1948 at the Congress of The Hague, the European Movement unites all active forces committed to a united Europe. For many years, ALDA has been an active member of the European Movement International and of the Italian Section of the European Movement (Consiglio Italiano del Movimento Europeo). ALDA joined the European Movement – France in 2021 and has been working closely with this organisation since.
We are proud to join forces with like-minded people and organisations, defending an ambitious vision of the European Union and engaging citizens to shape the future of the union at a critical moment for our continent.
During this mandate, ALDA will support the work of the European Movement – France, facilitating cooperation between sections within France and abroad, and answering the desire of members to engage with their counterparts in other European countries. We will also be happy to contribute through our core experience and expertise to the debates and activities on enlargement of the European Union, local and regional government, and support for democracy.
The general assembly of the European Movement France reelected Dr Hervé Moritz as President and appointed a new board. The event also hosted the President of the European Movement – Germany, Dr Anna-Maija Mertens, and the President of the European Movement – Italy, Pier-Virgilio Dastoli, for an exchange on the priorities of our pan-European organisation and on ways to address the challenges and threats facing the European Union.
The European Movement is part of ALDA’s network of partners, underscoring the strong synergy that guides our collaboration. With Adrien’s election, for which we are sincerely grateful, we look forward to further strengthening this work in the period ahead.
