Sep 14 2023 Share

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola has been hailed as one of the world’s next top leaders by Time Magazine. The global magazine published its ‘Time100 Next’ list of 100 people from across the world making an impact in various fields, including politics, health, climate, businesses, sport and art.

The President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen penned the testimonial to President Metsola, saying that Metsola is one who brought the European Union closer to people.

“Whenever she travels to one of the bloc’s 27 Member States, whatever the issues on the agenda, she always finds time to meet with local people. And she repeats a powerful message: Get involved. Do not ever give in to cynicism. You can be the engine of change,” said the President of the European Commission.

She also praised the role and work of Roberta Metsola in spearheading major reforms within the European Parliament, saying that “Roberta works tirelessly to make European institutions better and more transparent.”

President Ursula von der Leyen concluded: “Roberta’s passion for Europe has led her to the highest seat in the European Parliament: now she is channeling it in the service of all Europeans.”

President Metsola welcomed the publication saying “Since my first day in politics, my priority has been to bridge the gap between European decision-making and the people we are elected to represent. It’s a wonderful surprise and honour to be included in this list, particularly as first person from Malta and Gozo. I hope that this serves to continue to put the European Parliament on the world map and help in getting the message of Europe across.”

Many took to social media to congratulate the EP on this massive accolade, including PN MP Alex Borg and PN MEP Candidate Peter Agius.

President Metsola is expected to address an event in New York in the coming weeks in recognition of her inclusion in the list.

“Alien Corpses” Presented to Congress in Mexico

"Alien Corpses" Presented to Congress in Mexico
Sep 14 2023 Share

On Wednesday, Mexican lawmakers were approached with the testimony that “we are not alone” in the universe as congress was presented with what journalist and UFO-aficionado Jaime Maussan claimed to be alien corpses.

The alleged remnants of non-human bodies signified Mexico’s first-ever congressional hearing on UFOs. While some entertained the idea that the corpses actually belonged to extraterrestrial life, others shot it down with multiple social media posts ridiculing the concept, comparing the situation to something from E.T. or other alien-related media.

The two “bodies” were put on display in cases, with a carbon dating process held by Mexico’s National Autonomous University (UNAM) determining that they were around 1,000 years old.

According to Massau, the samples were retrieved near the ancient Nazca Lines of Peru in 2017 – past discoveries similar to the one in question were discovered to be mummified remains of children.

While Massau held that such an exhibition is a clear demonstration “that we are dealing with non-human specimens that are not related to any other species in our world and that all possibilities are open for any scientific institution to investigate it”, UNAM followed up on a 2017 statement saying that no conclusions can be made about the origins of the samples.
