European socialists give Muscat an expected endorsement

The Party of European Socialists has called on the Maltese electorate to make a definitive break "with the disastrous economic legacy of the conservatives" and to define a clear and progressive roadmap for the country's future.

"Joseph Muscat is the only candidate who can bring a real wave of change to Malta. He reflects the true voice of the people, of a country that has been long calling for sustainable economic growth with a strong social dimension. Joseph represents the opportunity for Malta to move forward," PES president Sergei Stanishev stated.

"The Labour Party has already showed its commitment towards employment and social inclusion: its support has been instrumental to put a "European Youth Guarantee" on the European agenda. I am confident that Joseph will improve the lives of the Maltese citizens in the same way that he has helped shape the social scope of the EU: with tireless work, deep commitment and progressive values."
