A government’s job is to create the right conditions for the private sector to grow and create quality jobs, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said today when addressing the European Socialists Congress in Rome.

Dr Muscat said that progressive parties were capable of managing finances and the economy. He said that a strong economy should be based on good financial management aimed at economic growth. A progressive policy was also beneficial for business.

The Prime Minister said that the presence of so many prime ministers for the congress clearly showed that if the socialists acquired the majority vote in the European Parliament election, Martin Schulz would be European Commission President.
