Roberta Metsola is currently serving as the President of the European Parliament, a position she has held since January 2022. As President, she has been actively involved in various high-level diplomatic meetings and initiatives. Given her role, Metsola’s leadership is focused on European parliamentary affairs rather than national party leadership
Metsola is a member of Malta’s Nationalist Party (PN) and the European People’s Party (EPP). Her leadership roles within the European Parliament are separate from her party affiliation. As President of the European Parliament, Metsola’s primary responsibility is to maintain the institution’s integrity and efficiency, rather than to lead her party.
While Metsola’s current role doesn’t directly involve leading the PN as opposition leader, her experience and influence within European politics could potentially translate to national party leadership. However, leading the PN would typically involve a different set of responsibilities and expectations, particularly if she were to become the opposition leader in Malta’s national parliament.
In summary, Metsola’s leadership role is currently focused on the European Parliament presidency, and any potential leadership role within the PN would depend on various factors, including party dynamics and national political considerations.
