Metsola transparency initiative in jeopardy

Parliament President Roberta Metsola‘s initiative to increase transparency in the wake of the bribery scandal involving Eva Kaili is hanging by a thread. While there was a majority in favor of Gaby Bischoff’s (SPD) report on implementing the 14-point plan for more transparency in the Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO), the vote ended narrowly with 15 in favor, ten against, and one abstention.
