The Young Liberal Action ( JuliA ) was a liberal youth association founded in the course of the political change in the GDR , which was officially recognized by the Bund Free Democrats (BFD) as an organizationally and financially independent preliminary organization . The Saxon State Association and the Dresden District Association of Young Liberals still bear their original names.
history
On November 17, 1989 in Berlin the founding manifesto of the Liberal Youth Action as a liberal youth organization and DDR-wide alternative to state-controlled FDJ adopted after already on 13 November 1989 in Berlin left-liberal alternative - LILA - democratic youth , on November 14, 1989 in Dresden the Liberal Democratic Youth and on November 15, 1989 in Jena the Young Liberals from the youth councils that had been re-established a few months earlier within the Liberal Democratic Party of Germany (LDPD).

The founding congress of JuliA took place on February 24th and 25th, 1990 in Weimar . The delegates elected Olaf Oßmann (Berlin) as chairman, Bärbel Böttcher (Jüterbog) and Ivo Klatte (Dresen) as deputy and Mario März (Berlin) as treasurer to the entire board . Andreas Pautzke (Berlin) was appointed managing director. On September 7, 1990, the second JuliA Congress decided to merge with the West German Young Liberals (JuLis). The unification congress took place on September 8 and 9, 1990 in the Berlin Reichstag . Although the JuliA only provided 50 of a total of 200 delegates, its representatives were able to enforce the abolition of the mandatory FDP membership for the members of the all-German youth association. The East German regional associations were also granted the option of choosing their own name and thus preserving part of their identity.
Apart from the National Association of Saxony have now all national associations in the new federal states in Young Liberals renamed and the symbol JuLis connected. The Saxon young liberals discuss this question from time to time, most recently at the 65th State Congress on October 13, 2018 in Torgau , but have so far kept their founding name.
