Speaker of the European Council – Cllr. Edward Firoux, Inquista

Edward Firoux rose quickly through the ranks of the Inquistan diplomatic service, serving as an ambassador for the country from 2011 to 2013, when he became Inquista's representative on the European Council. He is currently the longest-serving member of the European Council, where he has made his mark as an active legislator, proposing almost a dozen bills and two dozen non-legislative motions. In 2017, Firoux was elected as the first-ever Deputy Speaker of the European Council, before rising to the position of Speaker in 2018. Firoux was unanimously re-elected as Speaker of the European Council in September of 2019.

Deputy Speaker of the European Council – Cllr. Marion Rousselot, French albyon (Gallorum)

Marion Rousselot graduated from La Massognes Institute, Gallorum's most prestigious university, with a BA in religious studies before returning for a second degree in political science. Rousselot began her career in spirituality, receiving positive representation from several celebrity clients to become the biggest spiritual guru in the country. Rousselot has since decided that bringing spirituality to politics has become her main priority. Rousselot became the Gallic representative to the European Council in early 2019, and was unanimously elected as Deputy Speaker of the European Council in September of 2019.
