It does my heart good to see someone in Europe who stands up for the unborn baby. “Europe is back. Europe is the future. Long live Europe.” What inspiring words from a European. Roberta Metsola Tedesco Triccas (born 18 January 1979) is a Maltese politician who is the president of the European Parliament since January 2022.[2]
Metsola was first elected as a member of the European Parliament (MEP) in 2013, representing Malta. She was elected as the first vice president of the European Parliament in November 2020. Upon the death of President David Sassoli on 11 January 2022, Metsola became the acting president of the European Parliament pending the election of Sassoli's successor. She was elected as the president of the European Parliament on 18 January 2022 with 458 votes.

The Left trembles
A testimony to the goodness of Metsola’s election is the barrage of criticism she has received from left-wing MEPs. French Green MEP Damien Carême also stated that Metsola opposes “my political convictions on climate, Green Deal, migration, democracy and abortion. This is non-negotiable.” While the Left MEP Leïla Chaibi, also French, called the election of Metsola to the presidency of the EP “a disgrace”. And to think that the first woman elected to that office–Simone Veil (1927-2017)– in 1979, was the architect of the pro-abortion law in France when she was Minister of Health in 1975. Metsola’s election is a hopeful sign for the future of Europe.
