Labour leader in Zurrieq promises hawkers to ‘let them work in peace’ [WATCH]

Yet another day of Labour electioneering started at another market visit, this time in Zurrieq where he was greeted by well-wishers, all auguring a Labour win for the 9 March elections.

Together with his wife Michelle and Labour MPs Carmelo Abela and Marlene Pullicino, Muscat toured the market, shaking hands with the hawkers and customers and - being a Milan supporter - also joked with one of the hawkers wearing an Inter jacket.

In a short address following the tour, Muscat reiterated the unifying message which the PL wanted to deliver.

"On the 9th of March, you will be asked to make a choice... But after that we must work as one country," Muscat said.

Like at visits, Muscat insisted that the PL would continue with its "positive campaign, unlike others".

"Michelle and I are serene because we are putting forward an agenda which doesn't paint faces," he said, directing the jibe at the PN's billboard depicting Muscat with a red face and Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi with a blue face.

"A Labour government would treat everyone the same because we are all Maltese and proud to be so. Let us work for a Malta for all," he said.

Moving on to his party's proposals, Muscat said a Labour government would allow self-employed to grow and prosper and facilitate their work as much as possible, even through proposals such as combating red tape.
