Press release: Commemorate Ħelsien and look ahead towards a more pluralistic political landscape
Momentum General Secretary Mark Camilleri Gambin stated: “Freedom Day was another important chapter in the history of independent Malta. Today we celebrate this national holiday because our forefathers and mothers worked and suffered to free us from the military presence of the British Empire, and to bring about a transformation in the life and economy of our country.
While we rightly commemorate this important historical event, it is good to look around us to understand what new kind of freedom we need to achieve today. Our country’s economy needs diversification with various industries and more innovation. We must free ourselves from the shackles of the construction industry, greedy developers and their servile politicians.
This is the grand narrative of our time. A new freedom. Freedom from a duopolistic mentality where money comes first, foremost and at the cost of everything else.”
Camilleri Gambin concluded: “We at Momentum are committed to helping usher in this new freedom, to bring that hope and a breath of fresh air that our country so desperately needs. Today we celebrate our country’s freedom by working towards this necessary new freedom.”
