Forthcoming electoral debate will reflect country's democratic credentials - PM

The country will continue to show its democratic credentials next year as it debates the choices the people will be voting upon for the next five years, Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi said. In his Christmas message, the Prime Minister said that the debate will centre on how the country can continue to build upon its acquisitions and on the best choices for the future. The Prime Minister also said that in the coming weeks, the government will continue to negotiate on Malta’s financial package from the EU for 2014 to 2020. These were tough negotiations but the government would work to get the best for the country. In 2017, Malta would take on European Presidency and European eyes would be on Malta, the decisions it took and how it took them. This was a major responsibility which the government had to shoulder wisely for the benefit of all Maltese and Gozitans. The Prime Minister’s message in full can be read in the pdf link below.
