Alex Borg’s comments against Affordable Housing are concerning, particularly given that the measure enables eligible first-time buyers and young people who meet set criteria to purchase homes at 30% below market value.

The project, delivered in collaboration with the Church and led by the Foundation for Affordable Accommodation, will provide 260 families with the opportunity to own a home across four localities. It offers a concrete and targeted pathway to home ownership.

The Opposition has consistently voted against a number of key measures supporting first-time buyers, including the €10,000 grant, stamp duty exemptions, the Equity Sharing scheme, the New Hope initiative, and various other fiscal incentives.

This is not an isolated position. It reflects a consistent pattern of opposing measures that directly support young people and families in achieving home ownership.

We now know where Alex Borg stands on Affordable Housing. Someone who turns his back on 260 families and opposes measures that help young people secure a home is not prepared to lead the country.
