Ana Miranda MEP will also represent the voice of the Galizan people, who will increase their political power and possibilities to have a say in relevant issues for their country and their productive sectors.

Ana Miranda MEP also wanted to dedicate some words to her mother and father, who dies during the pandemic. “Without them and their effort, I wouldn’t be here. Their strength makes me face this new stage with more motivation and the willingness to give the best of myself”, she said.
