If the Maltese had not responded to the PN’s call for Malta to join Europe, then today they would be regretting their decision, he said. This is why Saturday is not the time to take risks because there is no room for errors. Malta will have only five representatives at the EP, and therefore we cannot take the risk of electing someone who is inadequate for the job because this would mean that opportunities will be lost.

Speaking during a social activity in St Julian’s, Dr Gonzi said that the country had already taken important decisions. Former Foreign Minister Joe Borg had been named Commissioner, Prof. Josef Bonnici had been selected as a judge in the European Court of Auditors, Dr Ina Cremona as a judge in the European Court and Dr Anthony Borg Barthet as a judge in the European Court of Appeal.

These were all appointments that honoured the country, which is why the people should continue to make the right choices in the interests of the country.

The people should choose candidates who have always believed in Malta’s accession to the EU. The Nationalist MEPs will not be going there to do nothing (biex isahhnu s-siggu), as the Labour leader has said – which expressed Dr Sant’s lack of confidence in the people, including the Labour Party’s candidates.
