“During the past legislature, there was one thing which both parties had in common… both parties had a leadership content for the one who leads them. The similarity stops there, as while the Nationalist Party’s leadership campaign lead to internal conflict (…) Labour’s leadership campaign lead to Robert Abela finding me by his side.”

These were the words of Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Chris Fearne during the Labour Party’s manifesto launch event. Fearne kicked off the event with a note on the Labour Party’s ‘dream’ going into the March 26 general election. What followed is a brief overview of certain Labour  party proposals which consider students, the elderly, children and more.

Amongst other proposals, Fearne highlighted Labour’s pledge to continue to increase stipend for students, a decrease in taxes for workers and employers, an amendment to local IVF law to allow Maltese couples to become parents in their own country and more.

“At the heart of the Nationalist Party’s agricultural policy is a support programme which will affect our farmers and recognise their commitment and priceless contribution to Malta’s ecology and produce.”

This was said by the Nationalist Party leader Bernard Grech during a number of visits in Imġarr. Grech stated that he and the PN are committed to facilitating the lives of Malta’s farmers and fishermen and that is why they are presenting a number of proposals building up to Vision 2030.

One of the main concerns is the ever-increasing price of livestock feed, amongst other issues, Grech stated. A Nationalist government is proposing to strive for a competitive market and diversification towards organic farming through strategic use of funding from the European Union and providing a ‘one stop shop’ for services which simply the process of transferring, the granting of vouchers which compensate for diesel and the facilitation of transport.
