The European Pirates have appointed Mattias ” Mab” Bjärnemalm as the first Secretary General for the organisation. Mattias Bjärnemalm, a senior member of the first Pirate Party in Sweden, has until recently been working as a Policy Advisor and Pirate Network Officer for the Pirate Delegation in the European Parliament. He was instrumental in negotiating the agreement between the Pirates and the Greens/EFA Group that lays out the details of the collaboration between the two political families. Previously, he worked as Head of Office for two Pirate Members of Parliament. He is the founder of the Young Pirates in Sweden, and was involved in the founding of both the European Pirate Party and the Young Pirates of Europe.
– We are very lucky to have appointed Mab for this role. His organisational skills and his long experience within the movement will be central to building up the office of the European Pirates and defining the role of the Secretary General, says Florian Roussel, Chairperson of the European Pirates.
The position of Secretary General was created this year to develop the office of the European Pirates into a thriving and inclusive volunteer-led organisation, and to respond to the results of the 2024 European elections.
– I am thrilled for this chance to build something new in the pirate movement! We are still a young political movement, with a lot of potential. It will be exciting to see how we best utilise all that potential, together with the board and all our activists. says Mattias Bjärnemalm.
The Secretary General will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the office of the European Pirates. The position is appointed annually, and reports directly to the board.
