The bishops have called on the Maltese and Gozitans to use their vote to elect representatives in the European Parliament responsibly opting for candidates who could actively contribute for legislation, programmes and policies which respected life from conception to death.
In a statement, they said voters should choose candidates who supported families based on marriage between men and women, safeguarded workers' social rights, promoted economic measures based on ethical values, were in solidarity with the weak and poor, and were sensitive towards the environment.
