Momentum has reached an advanced stage in drafting its election manifesto, assembling a broad set of proposals designed to address Malta’s pressing challenges and shape a fairer, more sustainable and transparent future.The manifesto reflects the party’s vision for societal improvement and the wellbeing of the country’s people.“Our proposals cover key national priorities, including public transport, stronger environmental protection, measures to curb rising property prices, good governance, research and innovation, and policies to build a more just society that reflects the true potential of our beautiful Malta and Gozo,” said Mark Camilleri Gambin, election candidate for MomentumMomentum plans to roll out its proposals gradually over the coming weeks, with each measure accompanied by clear explanations and opportunities for public engagement.

Longstanding pension inequalities will also be addressed, focusing on discrimination affecting those born before 1952 and 1962, mothers with children, and workers whose contributions made between ages 16 and 18 are currently excluded from pension calculations.Momentum reiterates its ongoing commitment to introduce further practical, strong and responsible proposals in the weeks ahead, with the belief that meaningful change stems from honest politics and policies that genuinely serve the common good.What do you make of these proposals?Credit: Partit Momentum via Facebook •
