Three Maltese MEPs spoke with The Malta Independent about their experiences in Strasbourg yesterday, as a terrorist attack took place elsewhere in the city.

PL MEP Miriam Dalli said that she was caught up in a restaurant in the City Centre close to Christmas market. She said that she witnessed police officers and army soldiers entering the restaurant and closing the shutters to protect the people inside.

PN MEP Roberta Metsola was locked down in Strasbourg Parlament. She was the first MEP to be stopped from leaving the building. She was allowed to leave parliament at around 3:30am.

PN MEP Francis Zammit Dimech was lucky to leave the Parliamet building but was not allowed to go to his hotel room which was in the City Centre close to where the incident happened.
