Biography

According to

Uwe Jens Rudolf: Historical Dictionary of Malta, 3r Edition, Rowman & Littlefield 2018, ISBN 978-1-5381-1917-4, Page 75 (https://books.google.at/books?id=lmZwDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA75&lpg=PA75&)

she was born in 1967 as Elena Christine Abela and represented Malta at the Miss World 1979 (at the age of 13 years?). According to the article Miss World 1979 Elena Christine Abela was 17. The information regarding the movie Final Justice (1985 film) and the Miss World 1979 has been deleted on 17th Juli 2019 from this article, the categories (Maltese beauty pageant winners, Maltese film actresses, Miss World 1979 delegates) and the links from pages like Final Justice (1985 film), Miss World Malta, List of beauty queen-politicians and Miss World 1979 at the moment still exist. According to wholeads.eu she ist 57 years old (born approx. 1962). --M2k~dewiki (talk) 00:16, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Public relations editing?

Her early activities (pageant winner, supporting actor in a notable motion picture) are notable for being her initial reason for celebrity, and this information is easily verifiable by reliable sources, but all mention of these activities has been removed. Perhaps this information was removed because it could be seen as embarrassing or "infra dig" for a politician of her stature, but image management is not the job of Wikipedia.

Agreed. Have restored the text. Smurrayinchester 14:55, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Any news on her election results related to the EU Parliament 2024-2029 term?

1. von der LEYEN asked that she would continue as Commissioner for EU Work-Life Balance Directive empowerment of women & girls

EU implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities or whatever the 2024-2029 term would be redefined into, but the Maltese Government decided differently.

2. Malta is entitled to 6 EU Parliamentarians, here they are, Dalli is not part of them: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search/advanced?countryCode=MT

Any news about her results and what she's going to do the next years?
