EP presidential election: Socialists to hear Metsola in January

Ahead of the upcoming election of the President of the Parliament, the S&D group in the European Parliament is planning a hearing of EPP candidate Roberta Metsola in the second week of January. The Maltese is controversial mainly because of her strict opposition to abortion (Europe.Table reported). „We expect commitments and clarifications on some important issues such as women’s rights, tax justice, the rule of law, and social justice,“ said S&D chair Iratxe García.
