Today the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola joined President Gitanas Nauseda and the people of Lithuania in Vilnius on Restoration of Independence Day. In her address, she said that Lithuania's story echoes that of Europe: people forged in fire, who stood up to stare down empires, beat the odds and ensure freedom and democracy.
Speaking at the Leaders’ retreat on competitiveness, President Metsola said that there was “a narrow window of opportunity” to do the necessary to push Europe forward.
Welcoming the President of the United Nations General Assembly Annalena Baerbock to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, President Roberta Metsola said that this is a moment to renew our commitment to multilateralism as a force for good in the world.
Addressing the Senate of Spain on the 40th anniversary of Spain in the European Union, the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola said in this new world, one thing is clear: Europe cannot stand still. Europe has to step up.
