Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, is no stranger to controversy. But now, a bombshell revelation has rocked her political career and shaken the very foundations of Malta’s most esteemed institution – the University of Malta.
An investigation has been launched following accusations of plagiarism in Metsola’s university thesis, an issue first exposed by a prominent German paper. But here’s the real kicker: some highly credible sources are warning that the University of Malta may be attempting to bury this scandal with a cover-up.
Let’s face it: the stakes here are monumental. This isn’t just about Metsola’s tarnished reputation – it’s about the credibility of the University of Malta itself. Professor Alfred J. Vella, the rector, is squarely in the spotlight. If this scandal is swept under the rug, not only will the university’s integrity come into question, but the global academic community will forever regard Malta’s premier institution as a breeding ground for shady dealings and academic dishonesty.

Metsola, of course, is doing what any embattled politician would do: she denies the allegations, calling the claims “unfounded.” But let’s not kid ourselves – the evidence presented by the German paper is hard to ignore. The facts are clear, and they demand full accountability.
Professor Vella, the world is watching. Your decision will echo beyond the walls of your university. Do you want to go down in history as the rector who allowed this scandal to fester, or will you rise to the occasion and restore some semblance of trust to your institution?
Here’s a clear warning: forces of evil are already conspiring to protect Metsola. The whispers of a cover-up have begun, and the university’s reputation hangs by a thread. If you want to salvage your credibility – and the credibility of your institution – you need to act decisively.
It’s time to make a bold move, Professor Vella. Appoint three external, internationally respected law professors from leading universities to review the situation and put their names on the report. Their unbiased evaluation will ensure that any attempts to shield Metsola or sweep this scandal under the carpet are quashed. Only then can the university begin to heal from the damage this case has already caused.
This is not just Metsola’s career at stake – it is the future of the University of Malta itself. If you let this slide, there will be no coming back. Don’t let your legacy be defined by this catastrophic failure of leadership. Stand up for transparency, stand up for integrity, and make sure the truth comes out.
The eyes of the world are on you. Do not let them down.
