Alfred Sant will not contest next European Parliament election
Alfred Sant will not be contesting the next European Parliament election, the former prime minister has confirmed.
“Of course not,” he replied emphatically when asked by veteran journalist Reno Bugeja whether he will be a candidate in the European election due in 2024.
Sant was interviewed on Reno Bugeja Jistaqsi, broadcast on MaltaToday’s Facebook page.
When it was pointed out that as an MEP his press statements are not released through the Labour Party and his presence on the party media was almost non-existent, Sant said those were the signs of “someone who is slowly exiting the room”.
