On Thursday, February 29th, 2024, the Leader of the Nationalist Party, Bernard Grech, dedicated his evening to engaging with the community in San Ġwann, reaffirming his commitment to close collaboration with both Maltese and Gozitan residents through grassroots initiatives.

During this visit, he had the privilege of interacting with numerous locals, alongside stakeholders and workers in the area.

Through these conversations, he gleaned valuable insights into the daily challenges and concerns they face, notably the strains imposed by the high cost of living.

Highlighting the importance of such encounters, Grech reiterated his dedication to fostering open dialogue that resonates with and addresses the needs of the community.

Discussions with the Leader of the Nationalist Party revealed stakeholders’, workers’, and residents’ discontent over the lack of consultation regarding developments in the square. 

They stressed the necessity for comprehensive studies to ensure that any changes made preserve residents’ well-being. This sentiment arises amidst concerns about excessive development, which has brought about safety issues and heightened traffic congestion in the locality.

During the visit, elderly community members voiced their worries to Bernard Grech about national security and called for greater accountability from politicians and government bodies.

They also highlighted recent developments following the Jean Paul Sofia Inquiry, expressing concerns that the concerns of young people are being overlooked, with business proceeding as usual without addressing underlying issues.

Joining the Leader of the Nationalist Party on this visit were Nationalist Members of Parliament representing the district, as well as candidates for the European Parliament and Local Council elections, along with members of the Regional Committee.
