An article by President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca has been featured in the British magazine Prospect Magazine UK.

In the article, President Coleiro Preca speaks about the diverse forms of human suffering she has felt, most of which were brought about by poverty.

She also speaks on the immigrants who ended up in Malta after fleeing war torn countries  only to end up faced with a life of poverty, increased by racist narratives that portray them as a threat to jobs.

President Coleiro Preca calls for a solution to be found to eradicate poverty, that was affecting the well-being of one in five Europeans, and 1.2bn people globally.

“There cannot be any compromise where human life is concerned. We need to keep in mind that violence knows no social class, skin colour, sexuality, age, religion, ability or nationality.”
