Cassola launches campaign for EP election

Arnold Cassola today launched his campaign as an independent candidate in the upcoming elections for the European Parliament.

Cassola presented his political manifesto, which is built around four major issues: the importance of a clean environment, the absolute need of good governance, the building of a compassionate and just society, and working towards a future of hope for our youth. The manifesto will be available online as from next week on www.arnoldcassola.eu 

Cassola's campaign is backed by many supporters and endorsed publicly by ten prominent Maltese personalities, a statement by the candidate said. These include athletes Fabio Spiteri and Elena Borg, artists Debbie Caruana Dingli and Steve Bonello, educators Michelle Attard Tonna and Claire Azzopardi Lane, writer Immanuel Mifsud, economist Marie Briguglio, environmental lawyer Claire Bonello and surgeon and columnist Kevin Cassar.

Arnold Cassola stated: "First of all, I would like to acknowledge the precious work and advice of my team, without whose splendid contribution my manifesto and campaign would not be what they are. Then, whilst I invite reluctant voters to be protagonists in the shaping of Europe's, our country's and their own future by actually casting their vote, I humbly put my 35 year political experience at Maltese and EU level at the disposal of all Maltese and EU residents who work towards a Europe and Malta that are more democratic, transparent and closer to citizens' concerns".
