I ask for your trust for another term as President of JEF Finland.
I am building JEF Finland that speaks up, communicates convincingly and empowers young European changemakers. We must be radical optimists, boldly demanding independent Europe and strengthening young people’s faith in a future built on cooperation.
I have served on JEF Finland’s Presidium for almost two and a half years, helping rebuild the organisation during one our most challenging periods. Today, our finances are stronger, our political advocacy has grown and our members are more active across Finland. The stability, active advocacy and accessibility I promised a year ago are now visible in our organisation.
2027 marks JEF Finland’s 30th anniversary. We must use our strong position in Finnish politics to bring the European perspective to every discussion table. With crucial parliamentary elections ahead, we must remind everyone once again that Finnish elections are also EU elections.
We will also make history as Finland hosts JEF Europe’s Congress. It is both recognition of our work and an opportunity to take a stronger leadership role in JEF.
A strong organisation must also be a sustainable community. I want to strengthen our local sections and make participation accessible throughout Finland. Our voice must be as strong everywhere in Finland as it is in Helsinki.
JEF Finland has shaped who I am, and I am proud to say that this organisation has made me truly European. But this campaign is not just about my vision, it is about our shared future. I want to hear your vision too, so please reach out and share with me your hopes for our common European future.
See you in Jyväskylä,
Pieta
