Visiting Paola ahead of Workers Day on 1st May, Prime Minister Robert Abela told supporters that workers are the key to Malta’s success.
“The key is you, the workers of this country, the worker from the smallest to the largest. Every worker that this country has is the best resource that Gozo and Malta have. I tell you the truth, this country has never had and will never have natural resources. But it has the best thing that other countries cannot boast of. The health of the Gozitan and Maltese worker. And in four more days we celebrate this day so dear to us. The first of May.”

“The celebration of Workers’ Day, the Gozitan worker, the Maltese worker who with his resourcefulness, with the strength of his tenacity and diligence, managed to push this country so far forward and therefore I invite you to come together on Thursday, the first of May, in Valletta to celebrate this very important day for us. Let us all celebrate this very important day together and therefore because through work, prosperity for the Maltese.”
