“My message will be that there will be no impunity, nothing will be swept under the carpet, it will not be business as usual. I will do everything I can with my colleagues to restore the position (of the European Parliament) as the house of democracy. As a co-legislator, as an institution that is transparent, that is clean and is not for sale to foreign actors that seem to undermine us,” Ms. Metsola said according to the correspondent of the Athenian-Macedonian News Agency.
