At an Extraordinary General Council, during which Nationalist Party councillors approved the electoral programme for the general election of 30th of May, Alex Borg explained how the electoral programme being presented by the PN contains 1,000 proposals that came from the people and are aimed at the people.

He said that it is a programme built by a whole team of people – candidates, experts, professionals and people from all walks of life – based on 16 important pillars:

Economy

The Private Sector

Tax Cuts

Health and Sport

Education and Skills

Social Policy

Young People

Mobility, Infrastructure and Planning

Energy and Water

Gozo

Tourism

Culture and the Arts

Environment

Agriculture and Fisheries

Governance

Malta in the World

“This electoral programme is a contract that the Nationalist Party is making with the people. A programme that caters for everyone, and we are determined to implement it. Through this programme, we want to strengthen and protect everything that makes us Maltese and Gozitan – our identity,” said Alex Borg.

The PN Leader continued that there are still many workers who, no matter how hard they work, cannot make ends meet and move forward. ”Through its proposals, the PN wants to give a boost to those who feel they cannot progress: through tax cuts, lower electricity bills and the complete removal of succession tax. All this, said the PN Leader, is nothing less than social justice.”

“We want you to move forward. If you work hard, you should be rewarded,” he said

Alex Borg also spoke about the major investment a new Nationalist Government wants to make – both in care, including by providing cancer medicines free of charge and building new hospitals for both physical and mental health, as well as through strong investment in prevention.

He stressed that, apart from investment in health, a new Nationalist Government will invest properly in education and students, with a 25% increase in stipends, better schools and investment in educators.

The PN Leader stated that ”Gozo and Gozitans will no longer be an afterthought, but will become a priority, and a Nationalist Government will ensure that they are no longer treated as though they are second class.”

He added that ”young people will have the opportunity to become homeowners through strong support from a Nationalist Government, both for the deposit and for the first 10 years of the loan. “We will not leave young people on their own.”

Borg said that ”a Nationalist Government will not leave everyone stuck in traffic. We will start implementing the mass transport project immediately and, within five years, complete the first and largest line of this project.”

He pledged that ”elderly people will be able to use the services of their family doctor free of charge in their own homes and will benefit from an increase of €650 a year so that they can live better.”

The Leader of the PN said that ”a Nationalist Government will be the government of the whole nation.”

PN Leader Alex Borg concluded by saying that, ”the hour of the Maltese has arrived. The time has come for everyone to rise and say: This is my moment. This is the moment of a new generation. This is the moment to give our country A Fresh Start.”
