On Sunday morning, PN leader Bernard Grech invited 3 independent journalists, Kurt Sansone from MaltaToday, Ana Tortell from Lovin Malta and Liam Carter from TVMnews  to answer their questions on various topics.

One of the Journalists, Ana Tortell, stated that “views on abortion are shifting with roughly 65% of younger voters either supporting decriminalisation or open to it in certain cases”. She continued to ask Bernard Grech whether it’s “a bit short-sighted for the PN to outright refuse any sort of compromise on decriminalising abortion?”

Grech reiterated the party’s commitment to its pro-life values, stating that while the PN respects differing opinions, it will not alter the party’s core beliefs to gain more support. 

He also stated that the difference between the PN and the Labour Party lies in the certainty of its values. “Even if we don’t agree on the matter, you know where we stand. We are pro-life.” he said. 

While acknowledging that some individuals are still resorting to abortion, he stressed that the party’s focus is on understanding how they can support these people, without getting to that point and without shifting its policy.

Grech emphasised that the life of the unborn is of vital importance to the party and that he’s “not willing to make compromises because the life of the unborn person for us has value and that value is very important.“
