Elected President of the European Parliament last month, Roberta Metsola is the third woman in this position, after the French Simone Veil and Nicole Fontaine. This Maltese conservative of the European People’s Party began her mandate against the backdrop of a pandemic and threats of conflict at the gates of Europe. During this interview conducted by Caroline De Camaret, she discusses the Ukrainian crisis, the issue of migrants, France’s presidency of the EU Council and her controversial votes against parliamentary resolutions defending the right to abortion.
