Hannah Neumann (born 3 April 1984) is a German politician of the Alliance 90/The Greens who has been serving as a Member of the European Parliament since 2019.[1][2]
Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Neumann studied media studies at TU Ilmenau from 2002 until 2007 and political science and media studies at Free University of Berlin from 2008 until 2012.[3] During her studies, she spent a year abroad at Ateneo de Manila University from 2004 until 2005.
Career
[edit | edit source]Neumann worked as legislative assistant to Tom Koenigs (2013-2014) and as chief of staff to Omid Nouripour (2014-2016) in the German Bundestag.[4] From 2018 until 2019, she was an associate fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP).[citation needed]
Neumann has been a Member of the European Parliament since the 2019 European elections. She has since been serving on the Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Subcommittee on Security and Defence. In addition, she serves as substitute in the Committee on Foreign Affairs. In 2022, she joined the Committee of Inquiry to investigate the use of Pegasus and equivalent surveillance spyware.[5][6]
In addition to her committee assignments, Neumann chairs the Parliament's delegation for relations with the Arab Peninsula.[7] She is also a member of the European Parliament Intergroup on Anti-Racism and Diversity,[8] the European Parliament Intergroup on LGBT Rights[9] and the European Parliament Intergroup on Anti-Corruption.[10]
In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Green Party and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) following the 2021 federal elections, Neumann was part of her party's delegation in the working group on foreign policy, defence, development cooperation and human rights, co-chaired by Heiko Maas, Omid Nouripour and Alexander Graf Lambsdorff.[11]
In early 2025, Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution found that Neumann's office had been targeted by a hacking campaign; according to Politico, the group thought to be behind the attack was a hacking collective associated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, known as APT42.[12]

Political positions
