They Attack Me Because They Can’t Defeat Labour

Together we are unstoppable — for the people, with the people, always Labour.

The so‑called Equality Forum of the Nationalist Party (FOIPN) has once again exposed itself for what it truly is: a shrill, intolerant faction that cannot accept that in a democratic society, not everyone must bow down to its ideological dictates.

Their personal attack on me is laughable. I am guilty of nothing more than speaking my mind, defending traditional family values, and showing respect to world leaders who put the interests of their people first. If FOIPN call this “authoritarian,” then so be it — because what they are demanding is nothing less than thought‑policing and censorship.

Let me be crystal clear: I will never apologise for supporting family values, for opposing the dangerous social experiments pushed under the label of “equality,” or for recognizing the leadership of men like President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, Donald Trump, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Europe’s most visionary statesman, Viktor Orbán. Unlike FOIPN, they actually stand up for their nations and defend their traditions.

FOIPN’s statement is not about equality, it is about hypocrisy. They preach tolerance but attack anyone who disagrees with their worldview. They claim to defend democracy but want to silence all opposing voices. They say they fight hatred—but their entire press release was driven by hatred of people like me who refuse to conform.

By this statement they have also confirmed one thing: the Nationalist Party cannot stand the fact that I am back assisting Labour directly on the ground. They know exactly what that means. They’ve seen it before.

I have never — and will never — turn down the opportunity to help Labour. I’ve worked under different administrations, in good times and in storms, always with one goal: to keep Labour strong and close to the people.

The PN and their acolytes know that the experience I bring to the table isn’t theory — it’s tested, proven, and powerful. They know that with the right strategy, Labour can — and will — secure massive electoral victories, in Malta and in Gozo. And that terrifies them.

The Labour Government is right to reinstate me. My role is to serve Malta, not cater to FOIPN’s propaganda machine. No amount of tantrums or press statements from a powerless forum changes that reality.

I stand firm, without fear and without apology. Malta deserves better than political pawns dressed up in rainbow slogans and false virtue.
