Party Proposals

Momentum proposes a gradual phase-out of plastic packaging used in supermarkets, as part of efforts to reduce Malta's high per-capita waste generation.

Momentum proposes a set of environmental measures aimed at making Malta carbon neutral by 2050. The plan also calls for accelerated investment in renewable energy projects across the Maltese islands.

Momentum proposes a series of constitutional reforms it calls 'building the Second Republic', aimed at reducing the concentration of power in the Prime Minister's office and strengthening parliamentary checks and balances. The party argues Malta's Constitution, last substantially revised in 1974, requires significant updating.

Momentum proposes ending the prime minister's exclusive authority to call a snap election, seeking to limit this power through constitutional or legislative reform.

Momentum proposes increasing the resources available to the National Audit Office to strengthen its oversight capacity.

Momentum proposes removing recruitment procedures for the civil service from the Office of the Prime Minister in order to restore merit and transparency to public appointments.

Momentum proposes a foreign policy approach that preserves Malta's constitutional neutrality while requiring Malta to more clearly and actively speak out against human rights violations and war crimes internationally. The party argues that neutrality does not preclude defending peace, security, and human rights on the world stage.

Momentum proposes a new Foreign Service Act to professionalise Malta's diplomatic corps. Under the plan, entry into the foreign service would be based on competitive examinations rather than political appointments.

Momentum proposes providing local councils with stronger financial resources to better support their expanded responsibilities.

Momentum proposes transferring responsibility for waste collection from regional administrators back to local councils. The party argues the current regional system has not delivered the intended results and does not reflect Malta's local realities.

Momentum proposes converting the role of mayor from part-time to full-time, arguing the responsibilities have grown to require full-time commitment.

Momentum proposes expanding the autonomy of local councils, giving them greater decision-making powers independent of central government.

Momentum proposes granting Gozo full European region status, replacing its current semi-autonomous arrangement. The plan would establish a regional council elected directly by Gozitan residents to give them greater democratic control over local affairs and improve access to EU funding.
