Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament, stated that the European Union will not support any candidate in the midterm elections in the USA, emphasizing the importance of free and fair elections for European citizens. She made these comments in the context of support expressed by American officials, such as Marco Rubio, for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Metsola highlighted that, although she would not want the USA to intervene in European elections, the EU has the necessary tools to combat external interference.

Additionally, she discussed the challenges faced by the cordon sanitaire system that excludes far-right parties from the European Parliament, mentioning that alliances with these groups have begun to take shape. Metsola reiterated that pro-European majorities are the most effective in the European Parliament, while her role as president will be contested at the end of the year.
