Leader of the Nationalist Party Alex Borg addressed a Workers’ Day Mass Rally in Lija;, and said that on 30th of May ”we will take the first step in the direction we want to take our country My word to you, what I am promising you, is a contract. These promises will not remain on paper. We will deliver.”
In his address the Leader of the PN listed the proposals launched by the Nationalist Party in the first days of the campaign, including a network of hospitals and the National Health Park in Selmun to be delivered within the first five years of a new Nationalist Government.
He said these projects will be implemented thanks to the team of candidates and health professionals who developed and believed in them.
Borg said that because the PN truly believes in healthcare workers, it wants to give them the conditions they deserve, and within the first 100 days, a Nationalist Government will begin negotiations for better wages.
“We believe that education is the key to life. That is why we will increase all student stipends by 25%, and grant a five-year tax break to Maltese healthcare professionals currently abroad who return to work in our country,” said Borg.
The Leader of the Nationalist Party spoke about young couples who are losing hope of starting a family and said he wants to support them. He explained that the Child Trust Fund will do exactly that. This is an investment in young people so that, as they grow, they can invest in a business, in education, or in building their future.
Alex Borg said that many workers are doing their utmost but still do not find support, even when they want to work more. ”A Nationalist Government will reward hard work and remove tax on the first €10,000 earned from overtime or part-time work.”
He added that ”to enable entrepreneurs and small businesses to invest without obstacles, a Nationalist Government will cut excessive bureaucracy that stifles investment and ensure a level playing field for businesses.”
Alex Borg spoke about today’s realities and how many workers arrive at work frustrated and stressed due to constant traffic. ”The PN is committed to delivering an efficient mass transport system, and within the first 100 days, work will begin on this project so that within the first five years the first and largest line of this system is completed.”
The Leader of the Nationalist Party explained how, meanwhile, the Labour Party, ”which worsened the traffic problem, first promised us a metro that remained underground, and now Chris Bonett has promised another project which, just hours after being announced, Clyde Caruana said he would not sign off to finance. Another promise of a mass transport project that will remain underground.”
He stated that, ”if you give us your trust, the doors of Castille will always be open to everyone, not only on the eve of an election.”
Alex Borg said that the Nationalist Party has the ”energy, determination and strength of persuasion, and is determined, together with the people, to give A Fresh Start to our country.”
