    “New Beginning” is what the Labour Party of Malta (MLP) is offering voters as it prepares for general elections expected in March or April this year. New investment and new jobs top the Labour Party’s programme, alongside better education and health services.

    Speaking at a press conference in Malta yesterday alongside PES President Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, MLP Acting Leader Charles Mangion made the link between the Malta Labour Party’s programme – aimed at helping Malta face the challenge of globalization – and the Party of European Socialists’ ‘New Social Europe’.

    “Education is so fundamental”
    PES President Poul Nyrup Rasmussen told the press conference. “We need education for new jobs, we need education and qualifications to compete.”

    As Malta prepares for its elections, Yourspace asks whether the Malta Labour Party’s priorities should also be the PES priorities for the European elections next year?
