Sol Zanetti

Sol Zanetti, born on August eleventh, nineteen eighty-two, is a prominent Quebec politician, teacher, philosopher, and political candidate. He made his mark in the political landscape when he was elected to the National Assembly of Quebec during the two thousand eighteen provincial election, representing the electoral district of Jean-Lesage as a member of Québec solidaire.

Following his successful re-election in the two thousand twenty-two provincial election, Zanetti was appointed as the critic for Sovereignty, Canadian Relations, Democratic Institutions, Access to Information and Protection of Personal Information, and the Family. His political journey includes a significant tenure as the leader of Option nationale, a Quebec sovereigntist party, from two thousand thirteen to two thousand eighteen.

Zanetti's leadership was solidified when he won the party's leadership on October twenty-six, two thousand thirteen, securing sixty-seven percent of the vote against musician and activist Nic Payne. He led the party into the two thousand fourteen provincial election and, in September of that year, he publicly supported the Scottish independence referendum through a YouTube video encouraging a 'yes' vote.

In two thousand eighteen, Option nationale merged with Québec solidaire, where Zanetti became a collective member. His influence continued to grow, and in two thousand twenty-five, he was elected co-spokesperson of the party, triumphing on the first ballot. With Italian and Québécois heritage, Zanetti embodies a rich cultural background that informs his political philosophy and approach.
