Regardless of the final vote to be taken in the parliamentary motion against Richard Cachia Caruana, Malta should withdraw its membership from PfP.

The Party considers Malta’s membership in PfP as a flagrant violation of the Constitution of the Republic of Malta. As a neutral country, Malta must keep away from military blocs.

The PfP forms part of a Nato programme which works independently from UN peace-keeping operations. It is a fact that Nato uses PfP to safeguard its imperialistic strategy.
