Bernice Bonello is contesting the upcoming election on the 2nd and 4th Districts under the Nationalist Party ticket.We sat down with her for a quick chat to ask a few questions about her campaign, priorities, and what she hopes to bring to the table — and here’s how she answered.1. Why should people vote for you?I’ll actually listen, keep it real, and push for changes that matter to us not just talk about them.2. Why did you decide to enter politics?I want younger voices and fresh ideas to have a real place in shaping Malta’s future, and I believe the PN can be the force for positive change.3. What are your top three priorities for Malta right now?Making life more affordable for young people and families, improving quality of life, cleaner communities, less traffic, and better planning, creating better opportunities, careers, and innovation so Maltese talent can build a future here in Malta instead of feeling forced to leave.4. What kind of Malta do you want to build over the next five years?Over the next five years, I want Malta to become a country where young people actually want to stay, build and belong.5. What problem do people in your district talk to you about most?The biggest issue people keep talking about is the feeling that everyday life is becoming more stressful and less livable.6. Why should young people vote for you?As a youth candidate, I bring the perspective of a generation that is living the realities people talk about every day — high rent, traffic, pressure to succeed, uncertainty about the future, and the struggle to maintain a good quality of life in Malta.7. Which candidate, even outside your party, do you admire and why?I admire people in politics who stay close to their communities and lead with consistency, regardless of party lines.Paula Mifsud Bonnici is someone I respect for her professionalism, strong values, and the way she communicates with calmness and clarity, especially on social and community issues.I also admire Janice Abela Chetcuti for bringing energy and determination into public life, while connecting well with younger generations and modern concerns.This article was paid for by Bernice Bonello.
