During a political event in Ghajnsielem, Leader of the Nationalist Party Bernard Grech outlined the “clear goals” of a new Nationalist Government for Gozo.

He stressed that it will “invest to ensure Gozo’s economic growth with more jobs, new services and opportunities in education and healthcare, more profitable tourism, and modern infrastructure for the island region.”

Bernard Grech stated that, for the economy in Gozo to grow and create more jobs, there must be good connectivity between the two islands. He reiterated the commitment of a new Nationalist Government to:

“increase the ferry fleet to five ferries

add ferries that can carry more cars and passengers to reduce waiting times

add ferries that make the journey in less time

increase the Fast Ferry service

build new facilities for ferry docking”

In addition, the Leader of the PN added that a new Nationalist Government will commit to strengthening both coastal and rural tourism in Gozo.

Bernard Grech reaffirmed his commitment for Gozo to become a hub for economic activity in the digital sector, technology, and AI, which could become economic niches that create well-paid jobs in Gozo.

He also stressed that, for the economy to succeed, workers need to have a good quality of life, and for this reason, this week the Nationalist Party announced a comprehensive strategy for a balance between work and family time, which he said includes:

“expansion of parental leave so families can spend more time together

paid leave from the government for all workers – including self-employed workers

support for childcare and remote working”

In reference to the rise in the prices of various essential products and services for families, Bernard Grech stated that the Labour Government “has not taken any initiative to curb this increase. On the contrary, the Opposition has put forward concrete proposals to address the cost of living.”

Bernard Grech referred to the survey published today, which places the Nationalist Party ahead in Gozo, and stressed that “this further strengthens the party’s commitment to remain focused on the people.”

The Leader of the Partit Nazzjonalista said that the developments that have taken place this week continue to show how we have a Government that is focused on itself, and whose only concern is how to hide the truth, silence journalists, and weaken the citizens.

The political event was also addressed by the International Secretary and PN candidate Beppe Galea, who stated that a new Nationalist Government, led by Bernard Grech, will invest so that Gozo becomes a region where the economy, culture, and environment go hand in hand.

Shadow Minister for Quality of Life and Local Government Chris Said highlighted the difference between the investments made by Nationalist Governments in Gozo and the lack of investment by the Labour Government, despite promises made by three different Ministers for Gozo.

Shadow Minister for Gozo Alex Borg explained that Gozo has been neglected by the Labour Government in areas such as connectivity between Malta and Gozo, traffic, and, above all, healthcare. He said that a new Nationalist Government, under the leadership of Bernard Grech, has a clear plan for Gozo.
