In April and May 2024, Friends of the Earth Malta met with a number of Maltese candidates running for MEP elections on the 8th of June. Since our national environmental policy is strongly connected to decisions made at the European level, we believe it is extremely important for everyone to use their right to vote and show their support for green policies, such as climate action, nature friendly farming and a circular economy, in the EU.
