Momentum commends Repubblika’s Democratic Vision 2050, which aligns closely with the Momentum’s own policy platform

Momentum welcomes and commends Repubblika’s comprehensive ‘Democratic Vision 2050’ document, recognising it as a vital contribution to Malta’s democratic discourse and a roadmap for institutional reform.

The 97-page vision document presents a thorough analysis of Malta’s democratic challenges and offers concrete solutions that align closely with Momentum’s own policy platform for good governance, transparency, and democratic renewal.

“Repubblika’s Democratic Vision 2050 articulates many of the same concerns and solutions that Momentum has been advocating since our formation earlier this year,” said Momentum General Secretary, Mark Camilleri Gambin. “Their analysis validates our belief that Malta urgently needs fundamental democratic reform, not cosmetic changes.”

The document particularly resonates with Momentum’s calls for mandatory asset auditing of public officials by independent bodies and real-time transparency in government spending. Momentum and Repubblika both advocate for strengthened anti-SLAPP protections and genuine electoral system reform to enable political pluralism beyond Malta’s current two-party dominance.

Momentum endorses Repubblika’s call for a participatory constitutional reform process involving citizen assemblies and transparent public consultation. The party also supports Repubblika’s emphasis on European integration as a democratic resource, noting that Malta’s EU membership should strengthen rather than constrain democratic accountability.

Momentum calls on all political parties to engage seriously with the substantive proposals in Democratic Vision 2050, particularly the proposed constitutional convention process, strengthening of anti-corruption institutions, and transparency-by-default governance principles.

“Momentum commits to incorporating compatible elements of Repubblika’s vision into our legislative agenda ,” Camilleri Gambin concluded. “We particularly support their call for political culture transformation – moving beyond partisan loyalty to genuine public service.”

The party noted that several proposals mirror initiatives already outlined in Momentum’s position papers, including the ‘Audit Every Asset, Open Every File’ transparency framework and calls for full-time parliamentary service with proper remuneration tied to strict ethical standards.

Momentum views Repubblika’s Democratic Vision 2050 as validation that Malta’s democratic challenges require comprehensive, not piecemeal, solutions, and encourages all citizens to engage in the democratic renewal process it outlines.

Momentum ifaħħar id-dokument ‘Democratic Vision 2050’ ta’ Repubblika, li huwa konformi mal-politika tal-partit stess

Momentum jilqa’ u jfaħħar id-dokument komprensiv ta’ Repubblika, ‘Democratic Vision 2050′, filwaqt li jirrikonoxxih bħala kontribut vitali għad-diskors demokratiku f’ Malta u pjan direzzjonali għal riforma istituzzjonali.

Id-dokument ta’ viżjoni ta’ 97 paġna jippreżenta analiżi bir-reqqa tal-isfidi demokratiċi ta’ Malta u joffri soluzzjonijiet konkreti li huma konformi mal-politika ta’ Momentum stess għal governanza tajba, trasparenza, u tiġdid demokratiku.

“Il-Viżjoni Demokratika 2050 ta’ Repubblika tesprimi ħafna mill-istess tħassib u soluzzjonijiet li Momentum ilu jippromwovi sa mill-formazzjoni tagħna aktar kmieni din is-sena,” qal is-Segretarju Ġenerali ta’ Momentum, Mark Camilleri Gambin. “L-analiżi tagħhom issaħħaħ t-twemmin tagħna li Malta teħtieġ b’urġenza riforma demokratika fundamentali, mhux bidliet kożmetiċi.”

Id-dokument jaqbel b’mod partikolari mas-sejħiet ta’ Momentum għal dak li g]andu x’jaqsam ma’ awditjar obbligatorju tal-assi tal-uffiċjali pubbliċi minn korpi indipendenti u trasparenza f’ħin reali fl-infieq tal-gvern. Kemm Momentum kif ukoll Repubblika huma favur protezzjonijiet imsaħħa kontra l-SLAPP u riforma ġenwina tas-sistema elettorali biex jippermettu pluraliżmu politiku lil hinn mid-dominanza attwali f’ Malta taż-żewġ partiti.

Momentum japprova s-sejħa ta’ Repubblika għal proċess ta’ riforma kostituzzjonali parteċipattiva li jinvolvi assembleji taċ-ċittadini u konsultazzjoni pubblika trasparenti. Il-partit jappoġġja wkoll l-enfasi ta’ Repubblika fuq l-integrazzjoni Ewropea bħala riżorsa demokratika, filwaqt li jinnota li s-sħubija ta’ Malta fl-UE għandha ssaħħaħ aktar milli tillimita r-responsabbiltà demokratika.

Momentum jappella lill-partiti politiċi kollha biex jinvolvu ruħhom bis-serjetà fill-proposti sostantivi tal-Viżjoni Demokratika 2050, partikolarment il-proċess propost tal-konvenzjoni kostituzzjonali, it-tisħiħ tal-istituzzjonijiet kontra l-korruzzjoni, u l-prinċipji ta’ governanza trasparenti.

“Momentum timpenja ruħha li tinkorpora elementi kompatibbli tal-viżjoni ta’ Repubblika fl-aġenda leġiżlattiva tagħna,” ikkonkluda Camilleri Gambin. “Aħna nappoġġjaw b’mod partikolari s-sejħa tagħhom għat-trasformazzjoni tal-kultura politika – li tmur lil hinn mil-lealtà partiġġjana għal servizz pubbliku ġenwin.” Il-partit innota li diversi proposti jirriflettu inizjattivi diġà deskritti fid-dokumenti ta’ pożizzjoni ta’ Momentum, inkluż il-qafas ta’ trasparenza ‘Awditja Kull Assett, Iftaħ Kull Fajl’, u jitlob servizz parlamentari full-time b’remunerazzjoni xierqa, marbuta ma’ standards etiċi stretti.

Momentum iqis il-Viżjoni Demokratika 2050 ta’ Repubblika bħala validazzjoni li l-isfidi demokratiċi ta’ Malta jeħtieġu soluzzjonijiet komprensivi, mhux frammentati, u jħeġġeġ liċ-ċittadini kollha biex jinvolvu ruħhom fil-proċess ta’ tiġdid demokratiku propost.
