Michael Falzon Social Security Minister Mi- chael Falzon, a veteran over- seeing Malta's welfare system, ranks third overall and second among PN voters (4.45). His popularity likely stems from broad support for the wel- fare state and his relatively con- troversy-free tenure. Jo Etienne Abela Health Minister Jo Etienne Abela, who took over from Chris Fearne in January 2024, ranks third among Labour vot- ers (8.11), slightly ahead of Mi- chael Falzon. His strong rating may reflect confidence in Malta's health- care system. In the Gozo region, Abela is the highest-rated minister (6.4), significantly outperforming Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri (4.67) and Agriculture Minister Anton Refalo (5.3). Clifton Grima Education Minister Clifton Grima's high overall ranking reflects the absence of contro- versy surrounding government education policies. He also ranks second among non-voters (5.63).
