The Labour Party will mark May 1, Workers’ Day with its first large public activity since the general election.

“The Labour Party wants to show that despite losing the general election, it remained a powerful, dynamic and forward looking party,” Michael Falzon, deputy leader for party affairs, told a press conference earlier today.

The May Day celebration will feature the usual demonstration along Republic Street, with the leadership contestants taking part “as one team”.

“The party has to be the real winner after the election of June 5,” Dr Falzon, himself a leadership contender, said.

The May Day activities in Valletta will include a march by the Labour Party’s band at 5 p.m. Concerts will be held opposite the law courts and at Freedom Square. The demonstration starts from Palace Square at 6 p.m. and Acting Leader Charles Mangion will deliver a speech at Freedom Square.
