The President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola.

As someone who grew up on an island in the Mediterranean, I’m no stranger to blue skies.

But this Blue Sky is different 😃. Here, I’m new.

So as I do my first post, I look forward to connect, interact & continue to advance democracy. This is what we do at the European Parliament.

Watch this space.
