Vladimir Olenchenko said that Metsola received a law degree and worked at the Malta Mission to the European Union in the early 2000s.
Later, she received the post of adviser to the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton, the expert added.
“In 2013, she nevertheless entered the European Parliament.
In the EP, the European People's Party traditionally has the majority, it was active in this party.
From individual fragments it appears that she is passionate about the ideas of human rights, was active in the fight against homophobia.
She was a co-author of a report on the problem of migration to the EU... She is such an experienced liberal, she will probably push this line, ”the expert expressed his opinion.
In turn, as Natalya Eremina noted, as a rule, a person who receives such a position is a compromise.
“In this case, we are talking about interaction and compromise between the parties.
This is a compromise figure who is ready to support the strategic directions that the European Union has announced, and who has experience in this direction,” the analyst said.
She added that the European Parliament itself plays a significant role in the structure of EU institutions in terms of development with civil society.
“When we say that parties from different countries are forming common factions in the EP, this is an important direction, which indicates the strengthening of the integration movement.
The EP also accepts the budget, considers all strategic lines of development, it has the right to send it for revision.
But at the same time, this is an instance that should closely correlate its actions with both the council and the commission, ”the political scientist said.
The expert also noted that representatives of different parties actively use the EP platform to express their opinion.
Earlier it was reported that Metsola was elected to the post of President of the European Parliament during the voting.
