Following Roberta Metsola’s record election into her second term as European Parliament president, Gozitan Labour Party MEP Thomas Bajada explained why he was the only Labour MEP to vote in favour of the newly-elected Metsola.
In a recent statement addressed by the first-time MEP, Bajada stated that, even though Metsola may be coming from a different political party with different beliefs, he did such a move because he is in favour of supporting Maltese people like himself.
“I believe we need Maltese voices in the highest positions of Europe’s institutions. It does not mean that we will agree on everything or how she perceives local and international politics, but I believe that this is the duty of every Maltese and Gozitan citizen.”
