"Work, labour, is the back- bone of dignity for humankind; however, we must be ever vig- ilant to maintain equilibrium in our society so that new so- cial classes do not materialise, and above all, we don't have a society of have and have not," she said in her Republic Day speech on Saturday morning. The president said infrastruc- ture and services are showing deficiencies, partly due to pop- ulation growth, and urged con- tinued efforts to address these challenges. "Analysis and response to the ongoing social changes within our environment are of utmost importance; the challenges are various, particularly those con- cerning infrastructure and ser- vices," she said. She pointed out that Article 1, sub-article 1 of the consti- tution, states "Malta is a dem- ocratic republic founded on work and on respect for the fundamental rights and free- doms of the individual." "When we place the individ- ual at the centre of the aspi- rations that guide our actions, we build a society that, by its very nature, serves as a deter- rent against the emergence of extreme socio-political move- ments within our country," she said. Spiteri Debono said it is es- sential to understand the eco- nomic realities of the nation, including how the employment and career aspirations of the Maltese people have evolved, and the need for inclusion and integration within society of those who are making Malta their home. "They are those whose chil- dren will eventually be Mal- tese," she said. Referring the Carers' Leave and Urgent Family Leave, she said these are an acknowledge- ment employees are being re- garded as whole individuals, with social and familial obli- gations outside the confines of the workplace. Recently, Opposition MP Adrian Delia made controver- sial statements on overpopula- tion in Parliament. The state- ments received widespread criticism, but he defended his argument by saying the coun- try's challenges stem from rapid population growth that the government failed to plan for, regardless of whether that growth came from. President questions if enough is being done on housing pressures President Spiteri Debono also asked if enough is being done by government in helping to ease housing market pressures. She highlighted the court rul- ings concerning individuals' right to the enjoyment of pri- vate property, especially in cas- es related to rent control laws, which were originally intro- duced with social aims at heart.
