Nationalist Party Leader Alex Borg will contest the 13th district in the next election. This will make him the first PN leader to do this.
Alex Borg was speaking during an event on Sunday morning at the PN club in Isla when he was asked about contesting. He said that Gozo is his natural home and he cannot not contest that district. He added that he will also be contesting another district in Malta.
While outlining the PN’s vision, Borg said that a Nationalist Government will give our elderly free access to a doctor, ensuring continuity of care from the same physician who knows their medical history, without them having to pay for it – “The Labour Government increased medicine prices by stealth.”
He continued by saying “a Nationalist Government will provide free doctor services for elderly people and pensioners in acute cases, ensuring continuity of treatment from their family doctor. This will be optional both for patients and for private doctors who wish to participate. This will also reduce pressure on primary care and hospitals.”
Alex Borg stressed that energy subsidies cannot be removed given today’s wages and cost of living. He committed that the subsidies will remain. At the same time, he said Malta needs serious investment in renewable energy, as neighbouring countries have surged ahead while Malta continues to lag behind.
Asked how the PN plans to attract young candidates, Alex Borg said that many young people are already gravitating towards the PN, proving that the party is reforming itself with a fresh and renewed vision, and succeeding in leading a politics of energy and hope.
