Dr Joseph Giglio is contesting the upcoming election on the 9th and 10th Districts under the Nationalist Party ticket.We sat down with him for a quick chat to ask a few questions about his campaign, priorities, and what he hopes to bring to the table — and here’s how he answered.1. Why should people vote for you?Because I place national interest, integrity, and long-term vision above division and short-term political gain.Throughout my professional career I have always strived to do my job seriously and with integrity and will continue to embrace these values throughout my political career.2. Why did you decide to enter politics?When I saw the situation the country was in way back in 2020, I felt I had the duty for love of country to contribute for change. Politics is a vocation to serve your country.3. What are your top three priorities for Malta right now?• Traffic and Transport• Environment and Pollution• Cost of Living4. What kind of Malta do you want to build over the next five years?The creation of new economic niches which would enable Malta to diversify its economy, strengthen long-term resilience, attract higher-value investment and create more sustainable, knowledge-driven growth.Greater investment in our resources and capabilities is essential to achieving sustainable economic growth and improving quality of life.5. What problem do people in your district talk to you about most?Cost of living, traffic and a general sense of neglect all over the localities in my district. All this impinges on our quality of life.6. Why should young people vote for you?Because young people deserve more than overcrowding, rising costs, and short-term politics. I believe they deserve a Malta that invests in innovation, quality of life, and real opportunity.This is the future I want to help build.7. Which candidate, even outside your party, do you admire and why?Those who are true statesmen.
