![Joseph Muscat Hits Out At EP President Roberta Metsola](https://maltadaily.mt/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/metsolaweb.jpg)
Speaking at a Labour Party campaign rally for Alex Agius Saliba, former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat took a shot at European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, mocking and critiquing her by, in one instance, seemingly confusing her name with former PN leader Simon Busuttil.

Muscat was speaking about extending the arm of friendship with the Opposition, saying that they would still not accept it but would instead associate and ‘hug’ those who killed thousands of children.
Metsola had previously addressed however, during an interview on RTK103, that she did not meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ‘like Joseph Muscat did’. She made these comments in defence of her trip to Israel in the wake of the 7th October attacks and spoke to President Isaac Herzog, not Netanyahu.
Muscat rhetorically asked whether his audience knew who he was speaking about before confusing her name as Roberta Busuttil. As the audience cheered him on, he goes on to switch the name and surname around and say he was about to call her Simon Metsola, to further clapping and support.
