The Malta Chamber hosted the ‘General Election 2026 Debate’ on 25 May 2026 at its premises in Valletta, bringing together Malta’s political leaders to discuss the country’s future and key issues impacting the business community.
Prime Minister Robert Abela and Opposition Leader Alex Borg presented and debated their respective manifesto proposals during the event, which focused on economic development, innovation, and national priorities ahead of the upcoming general election.
The debate was moderated by Rachel Bondi Attard, who guided discussions on the challenges and opportunities facing Malta’s economy and business sector.
Addressing attendees, William Spiteri Bailey emphasised the importance of leadership and reform, stating: “This is the moment of courage. The moment of reform. The moment of transformative leadership. Malta has already shown that it is capable of being resilient. Now we must show that we are capable of building a stronger and more sustainable country for future generations.”
Dr Marthese Portelli also delivered a strong appeal to the country’s political leaders, urging them to provide Malta with a clear national economic plan, prioritise productivity and innovation, invest in the skills of young people, and work towards making Malta synonymous with excellence, integrity, and reliability.
