25.09.2025


We are delighted to announce the election of the new Board of the Institute of European Democrats (IED), which took place last September in Baveno, Italy.

Members of the IED gathered for this important statutory meeting, during which they renewed the Institute’s leadership through a formal vote and engaged in meaningful discussions about past achievements, ongoing initiatives, and future projects.

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to the outgoing Board: in particular to its President, Francesco Rutelli, its Vice-President, Gabi Schmidt, and its Secretary General, Mikel Burzako. Their dedication, energy, and vision over the years have shaped the Institute and laid strong foundations for the work ahead.

It is with great pride that we welcome the newly elected Board, ready to build on this solid legacy. The following members were elected:

  • Enrico Borghi, President

  • Sylvia Rolke, Vice-President

  • Miren Martiarena, Secretary General

They will be joined by Alexandra Leuliette, who will serve as Secretary.

All members of the IED extend their warmest congratulations and best wishes to the new Board as they embark on this new chapter for the Institute.

Stay tuned: more updates on upcoming activities and initiatives will soon be available on our website and social media channels!
