European Parliament President Roberta Metsola recently sidestepped a question about her potential return to domestic politics in Malta. When asked directly about her plans, Metsola simply stated, “I’m here, and I’m staying,” without providing further clarity on her intentions. This ambiguous response has left speculation open about her future political ambitions.
Metsola’s comments came during the Mabel Strickland Memorial Lecture, where she emphasized the need for driving out corruption and exploitation in Maltese politics. She referenced the Nationalist Party’s demonstration in Valletta, highlighting the importance of speaking out against wrongdoing and demanding accountability. The European Parliament President also drew parallels between the Qatargate scandal and local scandals, stressing the need for transparency and faith in institutions.
Metsola’s leadership role in the European Parliament and her influence on European politics make her potential return to domestic politics a topic of interest. However, without further clarification, her plans remain uncertain.
