October 2023 – Present<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Member of the European Parliament
(CSV, EPP)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
First entered the European Parliament in October 2023. During my initial term, I worked in several key committees and delegations, building a strong focus on trade policy, economic resilience and Europe\u2019s external partnerships, particularly with Latin America. I returned to the European Parliament for a second mandate in 2024 where I continue to work on international trade, employment and social affairs and transport and tourism. My political priorities lie in SME\u2019s, creating real opportunities for young people, making Europe competitive without losing its social model and developing modern, sustainable and realistic mobility policies. In my view, Europe should protect its industry and jobs while remaining open, innovative and fair.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
