Alfred Sant unimpressed by ‘politicised’ Omtzigt resolution on Malta As EU finds compromise on rule of law mechanism to keep Hungary and Poland on board, Labour MEP questions political solution 14 December 2020, 2:24pm by Matthew Vella Labour MEP Alfred Sant has lambasted what he called “politicised” declarations by parliamentary assemblies in Europe, which have taken Malta to task over its rule of law shortcomings. Sant spoke about both the Council of Europe resolution on rule of law in Malta by the Dutch MP Pieter Omtzigt, as well as a new rule of law mechanism in the EU that will withhold European funds to member states that breach the values of rule of law.
