In a statement this morning following the publication of the Maltatoday’s survey, PN MP Alex Borg said the results show that, “We still haven’t made enough progress to be considered a true alternative government.”

“Despite the fact that the survey in Gozo shows the Nationalist Party remains the people’s choice, we must work more wisely across all of Malta and all social strata to achieve the progress that is needed,” he said.

Borg also acknowledged the limitations of the survey: “I understand that the sample size in Gozo is proportionally small. I never let that go to my head and I won’t now especially when I know we must work even harder as a party.”

“It would be a mistake to give up hope. It would be a mistake to ease our efforts. It would be a mistake to stop listening and speaking. It would be a mistake to point fingers at one another—especially on social media.”

He emphasised the need for greater commitment: “If we’re going to be accused of needing more renewal, then I’ll continue to push a new generation of youth forward so that no one is left behind, and together we can renew ourselves while growing stronger.”

“If I’ve been entering people’s homes, I’ll now enter even more because that’s where the solution lies: with the people.”
