Azzjoni Nazzjonali will be nominating a candidate for the upcoming MEP elections, party leader Josie Muscat told a small crowd that gathered in Valletta's Republic Street for a protest against the adoption of the Immigration Pact by the European Union.

Dr Muscat called on people to vote for an MEP who would stand up for Malta so as to ensure that the Maltese would never become a minority in their own county.

He stressed that he was not against helping immigrants but insisted that other EU countries had to take their share.

Norman Lowell, founder and leader of the far-right movement Imperium Europa, was present at the protest.
