ADPD noted that a considerable number of people are still undecided on whether to vote or not, and said that if people want different politics, they need to vote for it.
“A considerable number of voters are still undecided about whether to vote because they are tired of politics based on promises and gifts. They are fed up with traditional parties that are in the pockets of those who finance them. They want to see different politics,” the party said on Sunday.
“ADPD’s message is clear: if you want different politics, you need to vote for it. Don’t hold back. You have everything to gain. ADPD remains committed to clean politics, inclusive, sustainable, and fair politics,” it said.
During a press conference at Ġnien John Borg in Birkirkara, the Deputy Secretary General of ADPD-The Green Party, Mario Mallia, said that the location chosen for this press conference — a community open space — reinforces ADPD’s central message in this electoral campaign: the common good.
Therefore, “ilkoll.”
Mallia said that this place is symbolic of that. “In the past, as a councillor on behalf of Alternattiva Demokratika, we worked together with residents as well as other councillors so that this green lung would not fall victim to development, not once but twice. A practically unique green space in a locality full of buildings, today it is still enjoyed by the community thanks to our work. To keep this space accessible, we worked with other people. This is our vocation in Maltese politics: to serve as a bridge with people of goodwill who want what is best for the community.”
He continued by saying that in just the last month alone, there have been far too many stories of open land being seized for the benefit of a few. ADPD remains the shield of residents against uncontrolled speculation that is burying entire communities and destroying what makes us unique, with consequences for wellbeing and sustainability, both social and economic.
“This place is also a playing field for children. It reminds us of the obligation we have in politics not to look only at narrow and immediate interests, but to keep in mind the rights of children and future generations to enjoy our country. Our country is only lent to us,” Mallia said.
