Nadia Moscufo (born 16 December 1963) is a Belgian trade unionist, politician and member of the Chamber of Representatives.[1] A member of the Workers' Party of Belgium, she has represented Liège since June 2019.

Moscufo was born on 16 December 1963 in Hermalle-sous-Argenteau.[1][2] Her parents were from Castelmauro in Southern Italy and had been members of the Italian Communist Party (PCI).[2][3][4] She has two sisters and grew up in Herstal where she was educated at the local Atheneum.[3][4] She had an abortion when she was 16-years old.[2][3] After school she had various jobs in retail from 1981 and was a trade union representative for the Centrale nationale des employés [fr] (CNE).[3][4] Following her divorce, she gave up work in 1987 to look after her son but after three months she resumed working and was employed at Aldi for 21 years.[3][5] She was a representative for the Association of Employees, Technicians and Managers (SETCa).[3] She left Aldi in 2008 to work at the Medics for the People [fr] (MPLP) health centre in Herstal.[4] She was a representative for the General Labour Federation of Belgium (FGTB).[6]

Moscufo was a member of the Communist Party of Belgium but wasn't active.[3] She became acquainted with Workers' Party of Belgium (PTB) members after receiving treatment at the MPLP health centre in Herstal.[3] She joined the PTB in 1986.[4] She was elected to the municipal council in Herstal at the 2000 local election.[3] She was reselected at 2006, 2012 and 2018 local elections.[7][8][9]

Moscufo contested the 2003 federal election as the PTB's first placed candidate in Liège but the party failed to win any seats in the constituency.[10] She contested the 2007 and 2010 federal elections as the PTB's second placed candidate in Liège but on each occasion the party failed to win any seats in the constituency.[11][12] She contested the 2014 federal election as the PTB's second placed candidate in Liège but the party won only a single seat in the constituency.[13] She was elected to the Chamber of Representatives at the 2019 federal election.[14] She was re-elected at the 2024 federal election.[15][16]
