Energy, experience and Europe is the slogan chosen by Alternattiva Demokratika for the upcoming June European Parliament elections.
AD spokesman Ralph Cassar said the green party had the energy and will to represent the thousands of Maltese who wanted a better quality of life through strengthening EU legislation. AD would work for legal recognition of couples whose marriage had failed and would push for divorce legislation and other civil rights, he said.
EP candidate and AD chairman Arnold Cassola pointed out that at the last EP elections in 2004, the party had collected 23,000 votes on the first count and 29,000 on the last count.
AD believed in participative democracy and consistently tried to represent local communities in EU institutions, he said.
