Please announce in this thread your organization’s nominations for the following positions, following the resignations of Veronika Murzynová, Anja Hirschel and Mikuláš Peksa :
Chairperson of the European Pirate Party (1 position open)
Vice-Chairpersons of the European Pirate Party (2 positions open)
I might submit more nominations later, but for now the PPCZ nominates at least:
Marek Barbuš
A PPCZ’s member, 18yo. Since 2020 active as a volunteer within the European Youth Parliament organization. At the end of June he will be leaving the position of a coordinator of the Central Bohemian Region within the PPCZ, so should have time to devote to PPEU. He’s also a member of the PPCZ’s EZO group (foreign and European affairs team lead by Markéta Gregorová) and is a big fan of all things EU. He’s fluent in English and French.
He wishes to be nominated for both chair and vice-chair, potentially a regular board member in case any current board member is chosen to be promoted and their seat would be filled.
I got two more nominations:
Eric Liam Bibikov (PPCZ, for for both chair and vice-chair)
According to the statutes, if a board member is elected to a different position on the board, then their previous position will be filled at the following Council meeting. So the only posts thst will be elected at this meeting are the three posts already announced.
On behalf of PPCZ I would like to withdraw all our nominations for now. I shall submit (or re-submit) them by Sunday morning, but the situation is a bit chaotic. The process of nominations with no time for proper (or, let’s face it, any) primaries is putting me into a very complicated situation that we need to discuss internally some more before submitting our final names. I jumped the gun by posting anything here. Thanks for understanding.
Reminder to the nominees that they need to accept their nominations in order for the Board to open their candidacy thread where they can provide documents or text in support of their candidacies.
After meticulous consideration, the Young Pirates of Europe is nominating Florian Roussel (@emerodh) and Tim Leidig (@TimLeidig) for the position of Vice-Chair.
We also express our support to Sara “Beau” Hjalmarsson for the position of Chair.
I have been hesitant to accept my nominations because I believe it would be better to have sitting parliamentarians in those positions. Unfortunately, I have not seen any such nominations.
Therefore, I now officially accept both my nominations - for vice chair and for chair.
Thank you German pirates, Italian pirates and YPE for your trust.
