ADPD – The Green Party will use the slogan ‘ilkoll’ – meaning, ‘together’ – as the party gears up for the 2026 general election.

The party launched its election bid through a statement on Monday morning, the day after Prime Minister Robert Abela announced a snap general election set for 30 May.

“In a functioning democracy, participation is not reduced to a vote every 4 or 5 years. It includes the use of spaces through which our voices are expressed. These spaces have been shaped by civil society, individuals and political parties, including ADPD – The Green Party, so that the collective voice is heard,” ADPD said.

“If you look at these spaces, you find that they have been a repeated call, one after another, for the narrow interests of the privileged – those who find the path laid out for them because they are close to power – to be broadened to include the common good,” the party said.

Turning to the economy, the party said that having GDP figures appear high is not enough.

“Running an economy that is short-sighted will fail us. That the wealth generated remains concentrated in the hands of a few is an injustice. That we take pride in the country we will leave to our children – while failing it – is a grave wrongdoing,” the party said.

ADPD said that over the course of five years of work, it has consistently “raised its voice on the need for the wealth generated to be distributed fairly; for economic decisions to look not only at the immediate but also at the future; for the national human resource to be fully utilised, not just partly depending on who is in government; for planning decisions to consider the common good rather than the frenzy for profit; for our vote to carry equal weight and not less than that of those who bankroll parties into Parliament; and for our young people to have the same right to a roof over their heads as anyone else.”

The party said it would have a lot of proposals focused on community, cooperation, ecology, and sustainability, and added that it would be doing everything it can to get its message out to voters.

ADPD has never won a seat in Parliament during a general election and has said in past weeks that it would cooperate with the party Momentum to maximise both their odds of electoral success.
