The Labour Party has officially launched its electoral campaign and manifesto, with Prime Minister Robert Abela leading the event. This follows earlier reports by Fil-Qosor on the Labour Party's expanded election promises amidst internal strife.
The manifesto is described as a "costed plan" that is based on a "wellbeing index," indicating a focus on the overall quality of life for citizens.
The campaign's central theme for the upcoming general election, scheduled for May 30, is "Int Malta: Il-Ħolma tiegħek. Il-proġett tagħna." (You Malta: Your Dream. Our Project.).
In conjunction with the launch, the Labour Party announced its first mass rally, which is set to take place tomorrow, April 29, at 7pm in Żejtun Square.
State broadcaster TVM News reported that the Labour Party asserts the government's economic management has fostered a more resilient economy, specifically one that prioritises the well-being of the people. This aligns with the manifesto's emphasis on a "wellbeing index."
The Labour Party officially launched its electoral campaign with its first mass rally held in Żejtun today. Prime Minister Robert Abela addressed supporters, outlining the party's vision for the upcoming election.
