maltatoday, MONDAY, 29 MAY 2017 19 How did you first get in- volved in politics? I got involved three years ago after the PN had suffered a colossal loss. When I was asked to join the party, I said yes as I wanted to be part of the change – part of the way forward. W hich part of the political life appeals to you? Meeting people and listen- ing to them is possibly what appeals most to me. I also love to get things done, so being in politics is surely a route to achieve this. W hy PN? The Nationalist Party is a party which has always worked towards improv- ing our country. And help- ing each and every one of us reach our aspirations. The PN has been at the forefront of new investment and the creation of new economic sectors, and also ramrodded Malta's accession to the EU. If elected, what do you per- sonally hope to change? I want to be part of clean politics. Politicians are there to work for the country and for the people. Based on your door-to-door encounters, what are the top three concerns of families? In my visits and meetings, a number of issues are brought to my attention. Foremost among these, however, are always corruption, financial security and Malta's reputa- tion. The PN said that this elec- tion is going to be fought on principles: what do you think matters most to the electorate? Principles matter for the electorate but they are also interested in proposals. How- ever from what people dis- cuss with me, getting Malta back on its feet and bringing this corruption to an end re- mains a top priority. The Labour Party is claim- ing that, for the PN to stick to its electoral pledges, it will have to increase util- ity bills, VAT and N.I. Are the party's pledges doable without resorting to such increases? Yes they are. The millions taken by the few can be in- vested in the needs of our population. W hat is your position on embryo freezing? I stand by Simon Busuttil's position. W hich, in your opinion, was the government's best deci- sion and worst mistake over the past four years? Free childcare was the best decision. The worst is this government's unprecedented corruption. W hich, in your opinion, was the opposition's best deci- sion and worst mistake over the past four years? The best decision was to fight against corruption. The opposition could have done more with regard to LGB- TIQ.
