Amongst other topics discussed during the Msida event, Grech outlined the party’s position on land reclamation, stating that the Nationalist Party understands the need to preserve the ocean whilst recognising the opportunities it offers. He went on to highlight that land reclamation requires billions in funds and as technology continues to develop, a Nationalist Party would be ready to research and analyse whatever is needed in this sector.

He went on to say that ‘family’ is in the centre of the Nationalist Party’s politics, referring to the PN’s proposals aimed at work-life balance, reiterating the PN’s pledge to increase paternal leave amongst other proposals.

ADPD launches electoral manifesto ‘Green Sweeps Clean’

Mar 3 2022

On Wednesday, the ADPD party unveiled its electoral manifesto, with ADPD Chairperson Carmel Cacopardo stating that the party’s agenda is one which tends to the needs of the entire community.

The electoral slogan ‘Xkupa Ħadra Tnaddaf’, which literally translates to ‘Green Sweeps Clean’ highlights the party’s desire to be a political instrument which cleans up Malta’s landscape, political and otherwise. Cacopardo outlined that Malta is ‘sick‘ as a result of the ‘now-deeply rooted greed and hatred’.

The party chairperson discussed current issues such as ethics in public life, the financial sector, health, education, immigration, Gozo and the environment. The detailed manifesto outlines that the party will seek to control Malta’s ‘building frenzy’, stop the destruction of agricultural land, prioritise the elderly and community services and ensure that every building is zero carbon to improve quality of life.

Other notable proposals include the ‘removal of absolute power from the hands of the Prime Minister’, ensuring that the Constitution becomes a guarantee of accountability and rule of law and that children are no longer victims of air pollution.

Will Bernard Grech resign if he loses the election? Bernard Grech answers

Bernard Grech addresses election surveys and what happens post-election

Mar 2 2022

Addressing questions during a political party, Opposition leader Bernard Grech spoke about the election surveys and what the vote gap suggests to him.

Grech replied to a question by first stating that it is the people who will close the gap and not him. All he can do is keep helping the people and creating a better vision for them.

The PN leader revealed that he does follow what is being said in the surveys, but he also acknowledged that there are people who do not speak up due to being afraid. There are also people, Grech said, who claim they are PL but state that they will vote Nationalist for several reasons.

‘We truly are the underdog party’ said Grech, even though the opposition has strengthened. He appealed to anyone feeling uneasy about voting Nationalist to take the chance and join their movement.

Addressing what happens if he were to lose the election and whether or not he would be replaced, Grech said that he cannot predict what will happen after the election, which he described as a difficult road. He said that he wants to keep helping people and put himself forward in service to the country. He said he is focused on the challenge ahead in the form of the general election and that together with the people, the gap can be closed.
