About me
About me
My name is Mario Furore and I was born in Foggia, in the beautiful region of Puglia, in 1988.
In 2012, my search for political and social change led me to become an activist in the Five Star Movement. In 2014, I obtained a degree in Law at LUISS University in Rome.
After years of active engagement and a constant presence on the ground, in May 2019 I ran for office and was elected Member of the European Parliament for the Southern Italy constituency (Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, Puglia, Basilicata and Calabria). In 2024, I was re-elected with 38,237 preference votes.
During my years of activism, both online and locally, I have gained a great deal from the Movement. Numerous projects, ideas and shared solutions emerged from this experience. Through this collective and participatory path, I have developed my own vision of community and active political engagement.
I am currently a Member of the CULT and JURI Committees of the European Parliament, a member of the Delegation to the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly, and a substitute member of the Delegation to the EU–Chile Joint Parliamentary Committee.
In 2015, I had the responsibility and the honor of being selected as a collaborator of Rosa Barone at the Regional Council of Apulia. It was one of the most important human and professional experiences of my life, during which I learned how to engage with the mechanisms of the regional bureaucratic system and came to understand the potential for implementing a new way of doing politics within institutions, while remaining faithful to the ideas of the Five Star Movement and consistent with my values.
Always.
Currently, in my role as a Member of the European Parliament, I am a member of the Committee on Culture and Education and the Committee on Legal Affairs. In my work, I consistently pay close attention to the world of businesses and associations, with the aim of creating a strong link between our territories in Southern Italy and Europe.
Brussels is closer than we think: direct and indirect funding, structural and investment funds. Together with Europe, our goal is to implement policies that reduce economic, social, and territorial disparities among Europe’s regions, especially in the South.
