Manel Msalmi, FFN Chief Executive and Founder & President of the European Association for the Defense of Minorities, has publicly congratulated MEP Pina Picierno, Vice President of the European Parliament, on her decision to join Renew Europe and lend her support to the liberal group’s fight for freedom, democracy, equal rights, and human dignity.

In a message shared across her social platforms, Msalmi praised Picierno not only for the political move itself, but for the body of work that has defined her career in the European Parliament.

A Personal Note of Gratitude

Beyond the political commentary, Msalmi’s message carried a personal dimension. She recalled having had the honor and privilege of meeting Picierno and sharing a panel with her — an experience she described as a source of genuine inspiration.

Renew Europe’s Growing Coalition

Picierno’s move to join Renew Europe adds a prominent voice to the liberal group’s ranks within the European Parliament, at a time when the bloc has positioned itself as a defender of liberal democratic values across the continent. Msalmi’s congratulatory message framed the development as part of a broader story of female leadership in European politics, tagging the moment with hashtags celebrating women in leadership and the liberal cause.
