Yesterday, the Nationalist Party kicked off its National Convention at the Excelsior Hotel, Valletta. Opening the event, Party President of the General Council Mark Anthony Sammut said that the convention aims to gather feedback and ideas from party members and representatives of organised civil society. The convention is being attended by trade union representatives, employers, and industry lobbyists.
Meetings were held between representatives of constituted bodies and Nationalist Party members in the form of workshops.
Mark Anthony Sammut urged attendees to engage in open and honest discussion. George Vital Zammit who is drafting the party’s electoral manifesto said that the party needs new forms of thinking. Party Leader Alex Borg said that he is turning his party into a government-in-waiting.
Party Leader Alex Borg is expected to make another speech at the Convention later today.
