Liberales
the Belgian thinktank
Liberales is an independent liberal think tank (some tend to call Liberales left-liberal), located in Ghent, Flanders, Belgium. The organization promotes progressive liberalism and supports individual freedom, justice, a certain degree of self-government and human rights. It also supports responsibility, civil liberties, and solidarity. Liberales opposes conservatism, fascism, communism, libertarianism, and religious intolerance.
Lawrence Vanhove is the president and spokesman of the organization. Other well-known members of the board are Mathias De Clercq, the mayor of Ghent and Dirk Verhofstadt, the brother of the former liberal Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt.
Liberales is recognized as an influential liberal think tank in Flanders, but has no structural link with the Flemish liberal party VLD.
