A choice in our country’s best interests

I launched this campaign last December and have since tried my utmost to meet or correspond with as many of you as possible. From here I thank you for all your support, encouragement and feedback.

These months of campaigning came to a head this morning when I addressed my final press conference before Saturday’s vote. We need to take this election seriously and choose who the candidates we think would best represent us for the next five years in the European Parliament – an institution that decides on matters that are of concern to us all.

If I am entrusted to be one of your MEP’s in this coming legislature top of my agenda will be working towards

- Increasing the job opportunities for Maltese and Gozitans

- Overcoming the challenge posed by illegal immigration

- Ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment

- Continuing to strengthen our Education system

I firmly believe that in the coming five years our country deserves to be represented by people whose political beliefs are based on the values of solidarity, subsidiarity, democracy, tolerance and the respect for Human Rights.

The PN has a proven track record and will continue to work for Malta’s membership of the EU to continue to translate into more and better opportunities for all Maltese and Gozitan families. Today we have a voice that is being heard in Europe and our country is managing to convince fellow Member States to take decisions in the best interest of Malta. A perfect tangible example of this is the fact that Malta managed to negotiate successfully for VAT not to be charged on food and medicine.

Allow me this opportunity to thank all those who have helped me in this campaign and once again appeal to everyone who has not yet picked up their voting document to do so and to go out to vote on Saturday!


Thank you all.
