Our Policy for a Sustainable Future
It is recognised that Malta is currently experiencing the negative consequences of overpopulation.
This situation is placing a significant strain on the nation’s general infrastructure and is demonstrably impacting the quality of life for its residents.
The rapid and unsustainable increase in population, primarily driven by legal migration, presents a serious, long-term challenge to the country’s economic and social sustainability as well as to our fragile infrastructure.
1. Shifting to a quality-focused economic model
The root of this challenge lies in a governmental economic policy that has prioritised numerical growth over qualitative development. We advocate for a fundamental shift away from an economy based on quantity to one centered on quality.
This strategic reorientation will foster a more sustainable and resilient economic future. A priority sector for this new model is quality tourism, which can generate greater value without contributing to population pressures.
2. Upholding human dignity and fair treatment
Any policies aimed at managing population levels must be implemented with a profound respect for humanity. All immigrants are to be treated with fairness and dignity. The exploitation of any individual is to be unequivocally condemned and actively combatted. Our approach will be one of compassion and justice, ensuring that the rights of all residents are protected.
3. Enhancing public sector efficiency
Concurrent with managing population growth, there is a need to address the issue of an inflated public sector. A review of the civil service and government agencies is required to identify and address inefficiencies. Unproductive employment within the public sector should be rectified by encouraging and supporting the transition of employees into productive roles within the private sector.
4. Investing in skills and labour market alignment
To support this economic transition and enhance productivity, significant investment in human capital is necessary. Opportunities for re-training and upskilling must be created and made widely accessible. These programs will be designed to directly reflect the evolving needs of a quality-focused labour market, ensuring that our workforce is equipped with the skills required for the industries of the future.
5. The principle of sustainability
Ultimately, this policy is guided by the core principle of sustainability. We are committed to fostering economic and social growth that is balanced and enduring. This requires a move away from the “growth at all costs” mentality and the adoption of a more measured and strategic approach to ensure that our nation’s development does not compromise the well-being of current and future generations.
