Metsola takes Sant to task over Navalny resolution abstention Labour MEP Alfred Sanrt abstains on Russia resolution, accused by Nationalist MEP Roberta Metsola of parrotting Russian propaganda 1 May 2021, 2:48pm by Matthew Vella The heads of Malta’s European Parliament delegations have gone head-to-head after Labour MEP Alfred Sant abstained on a resolution condemning Russian human rights violations and the jailing of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny. Former Labour Prime Minister Alfred Sant abstained on a European Parliament resolution on Russia, calling on the EU and Russia to be less confrontational and more objective. Sant said the Parliament’s position as described in the resolution contained rhetoric that can only lead to further escalation of hostile sentiments between the two sides. “Clearly, the end point to such escalation could be war, for which the blame would not be attached to only one side.”
