The European Free Alliance Youth (EFAY) is the youth wing of the European Free Alliance European political party. EFAy is a European-wide youth organisation comprised with members who belong to political organisations that safeguard and promote the cultural, linguistic and national diversity of Europe in a progressive way. Its political principles are the right for self-determination, the recognition of minorities and ethnic groups, the protection of linguistic diversity inside the EU and in the European institutions, the preservation of the multicultural identity of Europe, an inclusive approach with migration issues, the decentralisation and subsidiarity of the politics to a regional and local level, and the condemnation of any type of discrimination, neither by sex, gender or birthplace.
Its first president was Mikel Irujo (former Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Eusko Alkartasuna) in 2000, when he was Secretary for international issues of Gazte Abertzaleak. The current president is Roccu Garoby (from Corsica), elected in 2011.
