Partit Demokratiku thanked the voters “who voted for us at yesterday's European Parliament election and we are humbled by those voters who share our vision”.

Our party was founded 3 years ago to offer new hope from the centre of Maltese politics, PD said.

“We want to be the beating heart of clean and honest politics. We believe in everyone's dignity and will continue striving for better quality of life for all. To these we say: Thank you. Your vote encourages us to carry on working for a better Malta.

“We have a big responsibility upon us. Nearly 30 per cent of voters have sent a clear message: They think politics is broken beyond fixing and have chosen to not vote. To these we say: We are hearing you loud and clear. We agree you deserve better and will double down on our work.

“Today we continue the journey that was started three years ago. We will launch an internal review process to see how we can continue building a future of balanced and reasoned politics and will announce more details in the coming days.
