MEP Diego Solier

Diego Solier Fernández (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈdjeɣo soˈljeɾ]; born 26 April 1980) is a Spanish politician of the party Se Acabó La Fiesta (SALF). He was elected as a Member of the European Parliament in 2024. Prior to his election, he worked in information technology for corporations in Spain and Ireland.

Biography

Various media outlets reported that little was known of Solier before his election to the European Parliament, similar to Nora Junco who was also elected on the Se Acabó La Fiesta (SALF) list. He was born in Valencia and qualified as a systems engineer at the Technical University of Valencia, where he also obtained a Master of Business Administration.

Solier worked for several years in Dublin for Trinity Biotech, the Irish Medicines Board and Irish Continental Group. From 2012 to 2018, he was the head of IT systems for The Walt Disney Company in the Iberian Peninsula before moving to Attindas, a company that mostly sells nappies. According to his LinkedIn profile, he was employed at the company when he was elected.

Despite a professional background in the pharmaceutical industry, Solier published anti-vaccine posts. He praised Vox politicians Santiago Abascal and Javier Ortega Smith, as well as Isabel Díaz Ayuso of the People's Party, whom he wanted to be the next prime minister of Spain. He also wrote statements supportive of foreign politicians Donald Trump, Javier Milei and Nayib Bukele.

Solier did not campaign during the 2024 European Parliament election in Spain, in which he ran second on the SALF list, which had three members elected. He only met party leader and founder Alvise Pérez days before the election.
