WHY THE NATIONALIST REVOLUTION NEVER STOPS
by Young Voice
Manwel Dimech’s bronze monument is morbidly rigid anchored in a past we don’t remember when it should remind us that the revolution never ends. Maltese people crave change. Sometimes, change brings progress. Other times, it leads to chaos, like when Labour’s return to power in the last election sent the national debt soaring by a billion euros a year.
What drives the country’s push for change? Less than a century ago, our grandparents fought for food and safety. Today, we demand more. We want equality, justice, and freedom. But these goals are hard to achieve when a corrupt elite runs the country. Scandals keep popping up, making our path harder as we wade through government-sponsored corruption and vote-buying.
Social media makes things worse. It silences conservative voices. Only the loudest liberal ideas get through, ideas that often reduce people to mere objects for others’ gain. The people cry out for change, but the ruling elite ignores them. The elite’s philosophy clashes with the people’s demands.
During his visit to Scotland, U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Europe’s immigration policies, warning that unchecked migration is a “horrible invasion” that is “killing Europe.” Speaking to reporters at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, he urged European leaders to “get your act together” or risk losing their cultural and national identity, echoing the “Great Replacement” theory. Just a few days ago, this blog showed how Malta has been invaded more than any other country in Europe, on a per capita basis. Trump praised his own strict U.S. border policies, claiming zero illegal entries the previous month. Our coastline is miniscule compared to America’s and we have been overtaken. Our security is a joke and an increasing threat.
Today’s Europe is also trapped in a web of censorship. News spreads fast. Small injustices become big headlines. People protest. But social media hides the full picture. Liberal politics control and manipulate the narrative. Labour leaders exploit public funds to cling to power. They claim to fight for the people. In truth, they want to control the people. The problem for those in charge is simple: Maltese people are never satisfied. Even when things improve, we want more. This isn’t bad. But it can exhaust us. Many fear constant change. Yet, without it, we lose freedom and our place in the global economy.
What can we do? First, we must understand the issues clearly. Second, we need calm discussions. Third, we must accept that change takes time. Real revolution isn’t just protests in the streets or party press releases. It is a shift in hearts and minds. The Nationalist Party understands this. The Nationalist history is a fight for a better Malta, one that balances change with stability. The Party respects life from beginning to end.
Unlike Labour, the Nationalists don’t just promise change; they seek delivery with integrity. That’s why the Nationalist revolution never stops. Nationalist leaders always strive for something better. But they do it wisely. They think, not just feel. Let us support the quest for a new party leader and join the revolution for a stronger and fairer Malta.
Dan il-Young Voice naħseb irrid jiffirma very young voice, għax jekk hemm xi ħaġa li kienet xebgħet lil elletorat kienet in-nuqqas ta żamma tal-kelma għal wegħdi li kien jagħmel il-PN
Anzi tant ikkejel b’xibru lil JM kienu qallulu:
ma tistax tagħmel childcare b’xejn – għamlu
ma tistax traħħas id-dawl u ilma – għamlu
imposibli tgħati tablet lit tfal – saret ukoll
l-income tax ma tistax tnaqqasa….. naqset
u ħafna oħrajn,
qallina they do it wisley…… jiġini f’moħħi ċedoli, accounts tal partit, dejn u ġlied…. ħallina habib
Jiġifieri dan iż-żgħażugħ/a nawguralu jiprova naqra iktar
As someone mentioned here recently, it was the Nationalist Party that pushed Malta towards independence while Labour resisted with its dream about integration with Britain. It was the Nationalist Party that went ahead with the plan to join the EU while the MLP floated a laughable concept which it called “Partnership.” Once the Maltese Islands foisted themselves as an independent nation in the heart of the EU, Labour came along and started milking the EU cow. We are where we are because of the PN’s vision and action. What Labour has done instead is that it inherited an excellent country, doubled Joseph Muscat’s 5 billion euros national debt to the current 11 billion euros national debt. The current prime minister borrowed 6 billion and only God knows how we will ever pay them back. If the economy is doing so great, why are we sinking further and further in debt?
While the Nationalist Party undoubtedly played a pivotal role in Malta’s independence and EU accession, it’s essential to consider the broader context. During PN’s tenure, Malta faced challenges such as hefty utility bills, reliance on heavy fuel oil, ballooning taxes, and a fiscal deficit that triggered the EU to impose an excessive deficit procedure. Unemployment hovered around 6–7%, which is much higher than today. Since then, Labour has implemented reforms that reduced energy costs and modernised infrastructure, while the current national debt was incurred to finance the period during the COVID pandemic and also to subsidise utility bills. Still, the current national debt is far below the EU’s threshold. At the same time, the economy has grown steadily and reached full employment, despite the PN’s predictions that Labour wouldn’t work.
The Nationalist Party currently stands at a crossroads, not of evolution, but of inertia. The bronze monument to Manwel Dimech, once a symbol of the perpetual people’s struggle, now sits like a forgotten relic, reflecting the rigidity that has crept into the Party’s soul. It no longer evokes a call to stand for people’s ambitions, but rather a quiet surrender to a sense of nostalgia. While Maltese citizens are voicing their concerns for justice, good governance, accountability, equality, and opportunity, the PN appears to be drifting, lulled by tradition and hesitant to reinvent itself. This stasis does a disservice to its legacy of expressing a tangible vision. Malta cannot afford a Nationalist Party that merely commemorates past achievements; it needs one ready to ignite the next.
