Malta

I am committed to the principles of liberty and the core EU values of human rights and dignity for everyone. As an MEP candidate, I pledge to advocate for the advancement and protection of individual rights, fostering an inclusive society for all. I will also ensure that states are held accountable for violations against the queer community’s rights and work towards making sure the EU is a truly LGBTQI+ inclusive Union.

By fighting for equality and equal representation

Propose and advocate the protection of sexual orientation, gender and expression, and sex characteristics. Ensure that LGBTI+ rights are not used as scapegoats. Ensure the EU holds Member States accountable for violations of the human rights of LGBTI+ people – of which I form part of. Ensure that the LGBTI+ community is an important stakeholder in decision making in the EU.

I will join the LGBTIQ intergroup and work across groups for respect of LGBTQI fundamental rights. Even when working on a “unrelated portfolio” I will make sure that it reflects the needs of marginalised communities, including those who face multiple layers of prejudice and discrimination, including systemic violence.
