Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Cyrus Engerer is a former Maltese Member of European Parliament representing the Labour Party.

Engerer later went on to write the European Parliaments resolution which condemned the laws in Hungary which effectively banned "LGBT propaganda" in the vicinity of schools.

He later joined the Malta-EU Steering and Action Committee (MEUSAC) and worked as adviser on EU funds to various Ministries, local councils and NGOs.

[7] Engerer is known for his public stands on civil rights, Malta's national identity[citation needed] and the protection of the environment.

[7] During the last PN General Council he attended, Engerer went as far as hinting that Nationalist Party was cut off from society's realities.

[16] The statement spurred Engerer to declare he would resign from the party's structures, if its leader and Prime Minister did vote against the will of the Maltese.

Engerer stated that "Lawrence Gonzi no longer represents the Maltese population, he has committed political suicide and if he has the country's and the party's interest at heart should resign immediately."

[19] Following her appointment as Minister for Social Dialogue, Consumer Affairs and Civil Liberties, Helena Dalli appointed Engerer as Chairperson of the Consultative Council for LGBT rights, with the initial task being to provide government with a Bill on Civil Unions as well as a Gender Identity Act.

[21] He submitted his nomination to Labour Party for the elections on 5 August 2013, getting support from Minister Evarist Bartolo, Minister Helena Dalli, Parliamentary Secretary Ian Borg, Member of Parliament Deborah Schembri and Gozo Labour Party spokesperson Ġuża Cassar.

[23] In the week following his switch to Labour Party, Engerer and members of his family were faced with multiple charges opened against them by the Police of Malta.

[29] The following day, Engerer announced that he had backed out of the European Parliament Elections 2014 citing that he did not want any bad light cast on the Labour Party.

[31] When it became clear that Miriam Dalli would resign from her seat to be coopted to the Maltese Parliament, Engerer was elected on 5 November 2020.
