Roberta Metsola has been re-elected president of the European Parliament for the next two years and a half, marking the beginning of the 10th legislature in Strasbourg, APA reports citing Euro-News.
In a vote held on Tuesday morning, the 45-year-old diplomat from Malta secured 562 votes in favour out of the 623 ballots cast by the newly-elected lawmakers, a comfortable victory that easily surpasses the necessary majority.
She was first elected in January 2022, following the sudden passing of her predecessor, David Sassoli.
