# ADPD Outlines Stances on Debt, Airbnb, and Abortion Decriminalisation

## In brief

- ADPD – The Green Party plans to propose regularising Airbnb rentals as part of its solutions for Malta's housing crisis.
- The party also warned against an "unsustainable" national debt, which has surpassed €11 billion, criticising government spending.
- ADPD confirmed its position as the only political party in favour of the decriminalisation of abortion.

ADPD – The Green Party has outlined several key policy positions, including proposals for regulating Airbnb rentals, addressing national debt, and its stance on abortion decriminalisation.

The Maltese Herald reported that ADPD is set to propose Airbnb regularisation as part of its efforts to tackle Malta’s housing crisis. This proposal is expected to be part of the party's electoral manifesto.

Newsbook highlighted ADPD's warning regarding Malta’s national debt, which the party stated has exceeded €11 billion. The Greens criticised what they called "reckless spending" and tax giveaways by successive governments, cautioning that this creates an "unsustainable" burden for future generations.

Additionally, The Maltese Herald noted that ADPD stands as the only political party in favour of the decriminalisation of abortion. This position distinguishes it from other parties, including Momentum.

The party is advocating for a fundamental shift in Malta’s political culture to address these issues.
