Nicanor Cué[1] (born 6 September 1956), known as Nico Cué, is a Spanish-born Belgian trade unionist and politician. He served as the General Secretary of the General Federation of Belgian Labour (FGTB) Metalworkers for two decades.[2][3] In the 2019 European Parliament election, Cué and Violeta Tomić are European Left's lead candidates (Spitzenkandidaten) for the President of the European Commission.[4][5] He was not elected.

Early life and education

Nico Cué was born in Mieres, Asturias on 6 September 1956.[6] His father, a miner, was forced to flee Francoist Spain to Belgium in 1962, after the miners' strikes of that year. He had no work permit and struggled to find a job until sympathisers with the republican cause in Belgium found him work in a mine near Liège. After a year, his wife and children could finally join him in Liège. He died suddenly in a car accident in 1968,[1] leaving his wife to raise seven children.[4][7]

Cué was educated at the local technical school and got his first job at the FN factory in Liège. He became politically active as a teenager and joined the FGTB trade union on getting his first job.[4]

Political career

In 1997, Cué stood as a rank-and-file candidate for the General Secretary of the Union of Belgian Metalworkers and won.[4]

On 26–27 January, 2019, in Brussels, Cué and Slovene Violeta Tomić were voted by the Executive Board of the Party of the European Left as the top candidates for the 2019 European Parliament election.[8]

Personal life

Cué is married to an Italian. They have at least one son.[7]
