What do Malta’s four independent candidates mean?
Four independent candidates will be working to boost good governance if they are elected in the March 26 general election.
The four candidates – Jane Chircop, Arnold Cassola, Nazzareno Bonnici and Noel Apap – were interviewed as part of a series of election spots organized by the Broadcasting Authority.
All four said ensuring good governance would be a priority.
“We also deserve a cleaner policy. We have a dirty policy … from Panama to Gaffarena … for direct orders.
“The Prime Minister will not tell us about his undeclared wealth, the PN leader took twenty years to pay a tax bill. This is not over,” Cassola said.
Similar calls were made by the other three candidates.
Cassola also spoke about the need for better public transport, saying that the government’s decision to offer free transport to all was not enough.
“Free service is not enough … double fleets, make sure you don’t have only one packed bus in a rush hour. You need one every three minutes and one that isn’t full so that more people can pick you up .
“Buses have to operate for 24 hours so people know they can rely on this service,” he said.
Meanwhile, Chircop said that if elected, she would ensure that the country “starts dreaming again”.
“We deserve to start dreaming again,” she said, adding that the protection of children’s rights is something she cares about. If elected, she will ensure that children are safeguarded, especially as they are the citizens of tomorrow.
Breast implants free if elected – Bonnici
For his part, the strange candidate Bonnici, who calls himself Tal-Ajkla (Tal-Ajkla) said that he has a unique proposal for young people: if elected, he would offer € 4,000 to anyone who wants breast implants.
“I have a lot to say … people have to open their eyes and ears. I’m not like the big parties. The big parties have forgotten Gozo … I don’t. I’m contesting this election for the whole country, “he said.
And for Apap, its main focus will be on migration.
“People come here by boat, illegally, nobody knows anything. People are not accused,” he said.
Apap also wants more business schools and a school to be compulsory for all under 18s. He also called for less development, saying the country was now ruined by construction work in every corner.
