SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, EP President, Over the coming weeks, political groups will need to be constituted and majorities will need to be formed in order to work on a political program that will stear the direction of our Union for the coming years. In short, parliamentary work starts now. On the 16th of July, the new EP, the 10th legislature will hold its inaugural session in Strasbourg. As President of this Parliament, I see these results as a sign of trust from our people, for the Parliament to continue leading the European agenda for the coming 5 years. But also as a signal that we need to work even harder to reach people. Europe has voted, democracy is alive and our Parliament will be one that is constructive and that will continue to work for all Europeans. Thank you.
