2. Who should I contact make my voice heard?

The European Parliament website has a tool to find your MEP, you can filter by country, political party and even constituency. You shouldn’t worry too much about territoriality as the MEPs have a mandate to represent his/her like-minded people of his/her country.

Let’s take her as an example for my case

From there you’ll have access to their general information as well as their recent activities, their positions within their parties and within the Parliament. On the side you’ll find their contact information on Twitter, Facebook and email address. On the tabs you may find their declarations of financial interests (any positions they held in companies, any mandates in private organisations , etc)

Do not hesitate to contact your MEPs, after all some are always telling that they have all the time in the world being useless in Brussels right? On a more serious note, they are quite quick to respond to your concerns and do not question or ask for proof that you are from their country. Just state your concern and wait for their response. The best way to achieve pressure is by pure numbers, organizing campaigns about a specific controversy seem to be the most effective such as this one I took part in 2015 defending net neutrality in the proposition for a European Single Market for Electronic Communications.

Got the answer 3 days after I sent mine.

The answer was not what I concurred with but it was motivated well. From here on out, it’s politics, meaning that it’s up to the party to be on your side or lose your votes during the next election.
