President of @LCAMalta - @favamario :
“Demographic pressures, territorial fractures and shifting EU priorities show that Europe’s future begins locally. As the 2028–2034 #MFF is shaped, cities and regions must be co-authors — not afterthoughts.”

@RobertAbela_MT Despite our small size we have long been a voice for dialogue and bridge building between nations. Our neutrality does not mean indifference. It means taking principled stance for peace and ensuring that while security is enhanced, diplomacy remains at the forefront.
Safeguarding Malta's neutrality, promoting peace & ensuring that our people's hard-earned money - go towards bettering lives.

Last year our economy grew by 6%, or nearly 7 times the EU average. Our progressive policies of supporting household incomes and lowering burdens on businesses are making a real difference. We will continue to build on past successes to build our nation’s new prosperity. - RA
Malta's A high rating has just been confirmed by DBRS on account of our country's economy continuing to grow much faster than our peers, defying experts' expectations once again. They believe our deficit and debt will decrease on the back of our stable policy environment. - RA
Malta strongly condemns the missile attack by Iran on Israel. They must be stopped immediately.
Our solidarity is with the Israeli people, as well as with all communities in the region facing ongoing violence.

The consequences of widening regional conflict would be disastrous for all the peoples of the region.
We call on all parties to carefully consider the immediate and long-term ramifications of their decisions.
We reiterate our call for the release of all hostages, an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, increased humanitarian aid to people in these conflict zones and for meaningful dialogue towards lasting solutions.

Congratulations @RobertaMetsola on being reconfirmed as @EP_President for the next two and a half years.
2024 is indeed a historic year for Malta, with our seat on the @UN Security Council, the 2024 Maltese Chairpersonship of the @OSCE, and a Maltese MEP leading the @Europarl_EN.
It is now time for all of us to commit to Malta’s long-standing dedication to peace, tolerance, and justice. Together, we must work to end wars and violence and promote peace above all else, in Europe and beyond.
