Prof Arnold Cassola, Chairperson of Momentum, said: “Roughly one third of Malta’s electorate feels politically orphaned. They are tired of choosing between two parties that have taken turns running this country into the ground while rewarding their own. Our candidates are not career politicians. They are medical doctors, scientists, entrepreneurs, academics and professionals who have stepped forward because they believe Malta deserves better. This election, we are offering voters a Bidla ta’ Vera – a real change, not only a change of colour. A vote for Momentum is a vote for the Malta you actually want to live in. A Malta characterised by beauty and a just and caring society”
