Roberta Metsola was reelected as President of the European Parliament with 562 out of 699 votes, after previously holding the position since January 2022 following her predecessor's death.
Metsola, known for supporting crypto regulation without stifling innovation, oversaw the passage of the EU's crypto bill MiCA during her presidency.
Despite her role's ceremonial nature, Metsola's influence on policy within the EU may be limited, as the President primarily represents the Parliament in legal and international matters.
As a member of the European People's Party, Metsola previously advocated for appropriate regulation of crypto and blockchain while contributing to the party's stance on EU blockchain strategy.
