The Malta Green Youth (ADŻ) has commended Alternattiva Demokratika’s proposal for financial aid in the form of rent and utility subsidies to youths involved in artistic pursuits.

According to ADŻ chairman Reuben Zammit, youths often lack the financial independence to enjoy and develop their talents to the full. He pointed out that young promising bands often struggled to make ends meet while youth-led drama groups were stunted by a lack of facilities.

“It is about time a party spoke up in favour of subsidising such pursuits, which have therapeutic benefits for youths in addition to their artistic and cultural value.”
