Alviina Alametsä  Alviina Alametsä (born 29 September 1992) is a Finnish politician of the Green League who has been serving Member of the European Parliament since 2020. Before entering European politics, Alametsä was a city councillor of Helsinki and chairs its equality committee. She works as a project leader in the mental health organization Mielenterveyspooli.

Alametsä studied political science in the University of Helsinki from 2011 to 2014 graduating with a specialization in world politics. During her university studies, she was active in the student union and governance bodies, participating in several of their business ventures. After graduating from university, Alametsä worked at the Crisis Management Initiative, and then from 2017 to 2018 as an assistant of Pekka Haavisto in the Finnish Parliament. As a candidate for the Green League, Alametsä was elected to the Helsinki city council in 2017, after an unsuccessful attempt in 2012. She ran unsuccessfully for parliament twice in 2015 and 2019, but later in 2019 she received enough votes to become the alternative member for Finland in the European Parliament – meaning that she will become an MEP if an additional seat is allocated to for Finland due to Brexit. Since taking up her seat in parliament, Alametsä has been serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs. In addition to her committee assignments, she is part of the parliament’s delegation to ACP–EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly.
