‘A PN government will put people at the centre of its politics’: Alex Borg
Alex Borg: A Man on a Mission to Recenter Politics
In the heart of Rabat, Malta, the narrow streets echo with the chatter of locals going about their day. Amidst this bustling scene, Alex Borg, the Nationalist Party’s (PN) secretary general, is not just another passerby. He’s a man on a mission, one that he believes will reshape Maltese politics.
Borg’s Vision: People-First Politics
Borg, a seasoned politician with a no-nonsense demeanor, has a clear vision for the PN. “A PN government will put people at the centre of its politics,” he asserts, his voice echoing in the party’s headquarters in Pieta. This isn’t just a slogan for Borg; it’s a promise he’s determined to keep.
His plan? To listen, understand, and address the everyday concerns of Maltese people. From the bread-and-butter issues like housing and cost of living to the more complex ones like healthcare and education, Borg wants the PN to be the voice of the people.
From Listening to Action: Borg’s Plan
Borg isn’t new to politics. He’s seen governments come and go, policies implemented and abandoned. But he’s also seen what works and what doesn’t. His plan, he says, is to learn from the past, understand the present, and plan for the future.
He envisions a PN that doesn’t just react to issues but anticipates them. A party that doesn’t just promise change but delivers it. And he’s already started. Borg has been crisscrossing the islands, meeting people, understanding their concerns, and incorporating their feedback into the PN’s manifesto.
Borg on Challenges and Critics
Borg is aware that his vision won’t be easy to implement. He faces challenges from within his party, from the opposing Labour Party, and from the ever-changing political scene. But he’s undeterred.
“Critics will always be there,” he says, a hint of determination in his voice. “But I’m not here to please them. I’m here to serve the people of Malta.”
Borg’s Call to Action
As we wrap up our conversation, Borg leaves us with a call to action. “I need everyone to be part of this journey,” he says. “Whether you’re PN supporter or not, if you care about Malta and its people, I want you to be involved. Together, we can make politics work for everyone.”
