European Parliament President Roberta Metsola declines Maltese party leadership, plans to focus on EU role.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola confirmed she will not return to Maltese politics to lead the Nationalist Party (PN) despite the party's wish for her to take the helm following the resignation of its leader. Metsola emphasized her commitment to her role in Brussels. Meanwhile, a proposal suggests splitting the PN into a conservative and nationalist party to form a coalition called "A Coalition for Malta," aiming to challenge the Labour Party's dominance and push for electoral reform.
