| Abstract: | Our veto in the EU’s foreign and security policy remains intact, yet Malta’s room for manoeuvre is narrowing, says Robert Musumeci. Malta’s constitutional neutrality was politically negotiated in 1986 and enacted in 1987 as part of a wider package of constitutional reforms. Today, that domestic constitutional choice has become increasingly significant in the context of the European Union’s evolving external posture, which has placed growing emphasis on speed, coordination and a more uniform foreign-policy response. As Kaja Kallas put it very recently: “Europe needs to adapt to the new realities.” |
