Roberta Metsola’s election as European Parliament president was hailed by Slovenian MEPs from the ranks of her European family, the EPP, but also others as Renew and S&D members expressed the expectation for her to represent the Parliament’s common position on issues such as the right to abortion.
The Maltese, who was the candidate of the European People’s Party (EPP), mustered 458 votes to win the election in the first round.
