Andorran Clara Vila Fité Named Spokesperson for Francophone Youth Parliament

Andorran Clara Vila Fité has been selected as one of two spokespersons for the Francophone Youth Parliament (PFJ), a role she will hold until 2028 alongside Rwandan youth representative Dany Vassily.

The appointment came during the 11th edition of the PFJ, held alongside the 51st Plenary Session of the Parliamentary Assembly of La Francophonie (APF) in Yaoundé, Cameroon. Vila attended the international gathering with Isaac Cabases, representing Andorra's APF section.

Over the next two years, Vila and Vassily will build on work from the PFJ session in July, acting as a link between the youth parliament and La Francophonie's main bodies. They will represent participating young people, conveying resolutions and proposals to various Francophonie institutions, and take part in global conferences and meetings.

The duo's efforts aim to amplify youth voices in discussions on shared values including democracy, the rule of law, multilingualism, and young people's involvement in decision-making forums.

Their mandate kicked off with a trip to Togo from September 30 to October 4 as part of Francophonie youth activities. They are also scheduled to attend the Francophonie Summit in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, in November—one of the organisation's highest-profile events—where PFJ work will gain prominence.

The PFJ periodically brings together young representatives from the Francophone world for parliamentary simulations on international policy issues, while fostering connections among participants from diverse backgrounds.
