The European Free Alliance Youth (EFAy) held its General Assembly (GA) last Saturday (12th April) in Palma de Mallorca, on the Catalan island of Mallorca.

Several resolutions were passed on the subjects of Kosova, GMO crops, Israel and Palestine, lesser used European languages, the situation in Tibet and a new focus for the organisation, in what was the EFAy’s 8th GA. The event was hosted by EFA party members Partit Socialista de Mallorca (PSM) and their EFAy member youth branch Joves d'Esquerra Nacionalista (JEN).

In addition to the GA, a series of activities were organised throughout the day and well into the night for delegates from EFAy member organisations from Aaland, Brittany, Cornwall, Flanders, Moravia and Wales to name but a few.

At the event it was also formally announced that EFAy Coordinator Eva Bidania would be leaving the EFAy next month to take up a position of Policy Advisor to the EFA.

EFAy President, Rhisiart Tal-e-bot, said after the GA:

“It was a great pleasure to be back in Mallorca among our very enthusiastic and active members of JEN. The event was a resounding success and we are indebted to JEN for not only making us feel very welcome, but for also providing a lot of fun too!

Our GA’s are important times for the EFAy, because they allow our members to make contact on a professional and personal basis, in addition to developing the activities of the EFAy itself. I am sure our members who attended the Palma de Mallorca GA will remember the day as one where old acquaintances were firmly renewed and many new friends met.”

Further details of the resolutions passed will be made available in the next few days.
