On Friday 9 December, the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola visited St. Aloysius College in Malta, where she received her education as a ‘sixth form’ student between 1995 and 1997. Memories, values acquired, and the maturing of her political vocation transpired in the discussion with those present.
The questions posed by members of our Sixth Form Student Council included challenges faced by women in politics and the ongoing war in Ukraine. When asked to share a message to students wishing to pursue a career in politics, Dr Metsola asserted, ‘put your hand up, be ready, don’t let anyone hold you back. Just do it.’
She encouraged the students to use their voice and their vote well, and not to take freedom and democracy for granted.
