Mar 9 2025 Share

Several hundreds if not thousands of people have gathered in Valletta to join the Nationalist Party in protesting against the current Labour party government.

In an interview on Net TV, PN leader Bernard Grech called on Maltese and Gozitans to gather in front of Parliament from 3 pm on Sunday, to send a message to the government.

Speaking about the Government’s failures, Bernard Grech stated that “Today, this failure has also spread to an international level because we have a Prime Minister who, in Malta, speaks against European investment in defence, but then goes to the European Union and says and does precisely the opposite.”

Mar 9 2025 Share

Prime Minister Robert Abela has announced that discussions will take place regarding the introduction of miscarriage leave, offering couples going through this difficult experience dedicated time off.

He described this initiative as a strong social measure that will significantly improve the quality of life for affected families.

Dr Abela also highlighted new workers’ rights introduced in recent years, including the increase in uptake of paternity leave in the private sector.

He noted that the number of fathers taking secondary parental leave had risen from 400 to 700 over the past year, proving the impact of this social reform on family life.

Another key measure mentioned was the removal of VAT on sanitary products, known as the pink tax, introduced in this year’s Budget. This step aims to tackle period poverty, ensuring that no woman is left behind due to financial barriers.

Dr Abela reaffirmed the government’s commitment to civil rights, citing a 30% increase in female workforce participation over the past 12 years, from 44% to 74%.

The discussion also featured contributions from Dr Lydia Abela, who stressed the importance of education and male involvement in achieving true gender equality.

12 Years Of Labour Party In Government

Mar 9 2025 Share

Today marks 12 years since the historic 2013 general election, which saw Joseph Muscat’s Labour Party achieve a landslide victory, ushering in a new era of political dominance in Malta with Labour entering government.

The election ended the Nationalist Party’s 15-year rule, with Labour securing 55% of the vote—the highest in 58 years—winning a nine-seat parliamentary majority. This resounding victory returned Labour to power for the first time since 1998, with Muscat becoming Prime Minister.

On the anniversary, Labour officials, past and present, shared tribute posts celebrating the party’s triumph and acknowledging Joseph Muscat’s leadership. The election is widely regarded as a turning point in Maltese politics, shaping the country’s governance over the past decade.

Over the past 12 years the Labour Party have had governments led by Joseph Muscat and after by Robert Abela, due to Muscat’s resignation.
