# Political Parties Present Diverse Electoral Proposals

## In brief

- The Nationalist Party has proposed tax exemptions for young people.
- ADPD is suggesting 'building passports' and a national geological service.
- Momentum has put forward reforms for fixed-term employment contracts.

The Nationalist Party (PN), ADPD, and political movement Momentum have each announced new proposals as the general election approaches.

The Malta Independent reported that the Nationalist Party is promising tax exemptions for young people. This new proposal aims to support the youth demographic by reducing their tax burden.

Meanwhile, ADPD has put forward two distinct proposals. State broadcaster TVM News reported that ADPD is suggesting the introduction of "building passports" and the establishment of a national geological service. These initiatives aim to improve construction standards and geological understanding in Malta.

Separately, Momentum has proposed reforms to fixed-term employment contracts. TVM News also covered this, indicating that Momentum seeks to address issues related to temporary employment and provide greater stability for workers. Earlier, Fil-Qosor reported on [Momentum's proposal to turn Fort Chambray into a national park](/article/2026-05-16/momentum-proposes-fort-chambray-gozo-national-park).

These announcements come as political parties continue to present their electoral platforms to the public, highlighting different areas of focus in their campaigns.

The Green Party has put forward a proposal for a national 'building passport' system, which would apply to every property across Malta and Gozo. This initiative is designed to mandate regular structural assessments, aiming to prevent accidents related to construction.

The party emphasised the urgency of this measure, citing recent incidents such as a partial foundation collapse in Naxxar. They argue that such a system is crucial for enhancing safety standards within the construction industry and protecting residents.

Earlier, Fil-Qosor reported on [political parties presenting diverse electoral proposals](/article/2026-05-17/political-parties-present-diverse-electoral-proposals). Since then, further proposals have been announced by different political entities.

Momentum has unveiled a package of worker protection proposals, which includes reducing the time before a definite contract converts to an indefinite one from four years to two. This initiative aims to address precarity in employment.

Separately, Nationalist Party leader Alex Borg has proposed a €1,000 tax reduction for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) that offer apprenticeships. Speaking at a Nationalist Party event, Borg stated that this tax incentive is part of a broader plan to strengthen vocational training and support SMEs.
