Nationalist Party leader hopeful Adrian Delia today spoke to councilors, committee members and tesserati about transparency and respect towards workers as focus points in his politics, in the run up towards voting day next week.

As the campaign for leader of the Nationalist Party is coming to an end, candidate Adrian Delia today said that all those eligible to vote on 2 September know what his principles are, according to a press release.

"Experience teaches you that who is genuine on a daily basis, is honest both in politics as well as in any other role which he submits himself to," he said.  "Those who have lied, concealed things and laughed and took advantage of people in the past cannot present themselves as honest," said Delia.   

"Our political opponents think they can laugh at us but the Nationalist Party is one with a great history, and even though it may currently be going through a period of internal struggle, it will get back on its feet once a strong, honest, determined leader fights institutional corruption which has entered all government levels."

 He added that his proposals for the party and country are built on respect towards workers, who aren't "a number who you employ or get rid of just to rectify the financial situation." "This government and those who think like it think that that can promise anything until they win the election, but then the workers need to face the consequences," he said.

The press release stated that he also spoke about party financing and said that it is important that the party financing plan intiatied by Ann Fenech and Alex Perici Calascione needs to keep on going.

He said there is a need to work in a transparent way in order to continue secure party financing, in order to "run a professional campaign which brings about results."   

Delia also expressed that he is not affected by surveys, as what matters is "what people do alone when they are voting. "It is wrong of someone to try to blind our supporters by saying we are at an advantage, without realizing that we are losing votes," said Delia.  He said that his 'new way' will constitute transparency.
