The Left nominates Sira Rego for EU Parliament’s presidency 

The Left will put forward Sira Rego MEP as its candidate for President of the European Parliament in the midterm elections in January 2022. 

Rego’s candidacy comes “at a time, and in a context, in which we have two great challenges: the rise of the extreme right & its war on human rights, and the eco-social crisis,” she said. 

“The answer to these challenges is feminism, environmentalism, public services, the welfare state, and quality employment. To achieve this, we need changed European institutions and a different kind of governance in Europe.”
