Political career

edit

Linea Søgaard-Lidell stood in the 2019 European Parliament election in Denmark. She was placed 4th on the Venstre list and won 24,153 personal votes, and so was not elected immediately but secured a seat among the British seats that were redistributed after the UK left the European Union, which she took after Brexit. She sat with the Renew Europe group.[2]

In November 2022, she resigned from the European Parliament after being elected to the Folketing in the 2022 general election and was replaced by Bergur Løkke Rasmussen.
