Meet the Momentum: Your Neighbours Running for Office

Imagine this: you’re walking down Republic Street, the sun is shining, and suddenly, you recognise the person handing out flyers. It’s not a celebrity or a politician in a suit, but your local baker, Mr. Camilleri. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. This is the face of Malta’s newest political party, Momentum.

Who are Momentum?

Momentum is the political party that’s been making waves in Malta’s political scene. They’re not your typical party. They’re grassroots, they’re local, and they’re all about giving power back to the people. They’ve been busy, and now, they’re ready to reveal their election candidates.

Meet the Candidates

Momentum has put forward a diverse range of candidates, from different walks of life, all united by their commitment to Malta and its people. Here are a few you might recognise:

• Dr. Roderick Galdes – You might know him as the doctor who runs the health clinic in Żurrieq. He’s standing in the Southern District.
• Maria Dalli – She’s the primary school teacher from Birkirkara who’s been fighting for better education. She’s running in the Central District.
• Joseph Muscat – No, not that one. This Joseph Muscat is a social worker from St. Julian’s, running in the Northern District.

These are just a few. Momentum has candidates from all over Malta, from Gozo to Marsaskala. They’re your neighbours, your friends, your local heroes.

What do they stand for?

Momentum’s manifesto is all about giving power back to the people. They want to see more direct democracy, more local decision-making, and more transparency in government. They’re not afraid to tackle the big issues, from corruption to climate change. They believe in a Malta that works for everyone, not just the few.

But don’t just take our word for it. Momentum is all about conversation and engagement. They’re hosting meet-the-candidate events all over Malta. Check their website for details.

So, the next time you’re out and about, keep an eye out. You might just see a familiar face on a poster. And remember, this time, it really could be your neighbour running for office.
