IDENTITA', REPUTAZZJONI u KULTURA
Sfortunatament ir-Reputazzjoni tagħna fl-aħħar xhur ittebbgħet bħala riżultat tal-mod immatur kif dan il-Gvern jagħmel il-politika. Nikkunsidrah bħala kompitu tiegħi li niddedika l-enerġija u l-esperjenza kollha tiegħi biex nikseb lura r-rispett li Malta jixirqilha. Aħna kburin bl-identità tagħna li hi minquxa fil-kultura tagħna u fil-mod kif ngħixu. Jien dejjem żammejt kuntatt mill-qrib ma' dawk kollha f'Malta li jiddedikaw ħajjithom għall-kultura u l-arti. Billi niksbu appoġġ Ewropew għal inizjattivi bħal dawn, nisguraw li pajjiżna jeċċella. Nemmen bil-qawwa kollha li Malta għandha talent kbir li aħna kburin bih. Kulmin jafferma li m'għandnix talent ikun qed jagħmel ħsara kbira lir-reputazzjoni tagħna. Issa jeħtiġilna nkunu ċari f'dak li rridu.
IDENTITY, REPUTATION and CULTURE
Regrettably our nation's reputation has over the past months been tarnished as a result of an irresponsable way of doing politics by the Labour Party in Government. I consider it my task to dedicate all my energy and experience to recover the international respect that Malta deserves. We are rightly proud of our identity which is enshrined in our culture and way of life. I have always been committed to all those in Malta who dedicate themselves to culture and the arts. I shall continue to support them to secure European support and recognition for our cultural and artistic initiatives. We must ensure that our country stands out in the right way. We direly need to set our standards and our sights higher, much higher than those that, sadly, the Labour Party in government has set for itself and for our country.
