Shadow minister for climate change & public cleanliness
“Dedication. Passion. Combatting climate change. Safeguarding our nation’s future.”
Areas of Focus
01
Climate Change
Malta’s future, like much of the world’s, depends on mitigating climate change. Yet it is only a part of what it takes to safeguard our nation’s future. We need effective action made possible through a dedication and passion to reduce our carbon footprint and ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and for generations to come.
02
Youth Involvement
Our country’s youth are not only the future but the present. It’s fundamental that they have a say in the Malta they’re inheriting, to have a say in building a Malta we could be proud of.
03
Good Governance
The sustainable development goals are the UN’s blueprint of an ideal future, with one of the hallmarks being ‘Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions’. We simply can’t have a green and equitable future without good governance.
04
The rule of law
My involvement in politics started from a passion for the Rule of Law, particularly when investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated in 2017 and Malta faced unprecedented protests in 2019’s constitutional crisis.
05
Democracy
Democracy isn’t static and is never guaranteed and for that reason we must protect it and fight for it everyday. Dictatorships do not happen overnight through a singular coup d’état, but democracies are very much eroded slowly by criminals posing as politicians together with special interests.
06
Community
My job is to represent you, hence that’s the basis of my style of politics. My goal is to be hands-on and a call away to give you the voice you deserve. Please do not shy away from reaching out.
Who am I?
I am Eve Borg Bonello, a passionate Maltese activist and politician, born on May 9, 2003. People remember me during the 2019-2020 Maltese protests for my vocal opposition to former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and the corruption scandals that triggered a political crisis that eventually led to Muscat’s resignation. In April 2022, I made history by becoming the youngest Member of Parliament ever elected to the Maltese House of Representatives.
My Journey
My political journey began as an activist, advocating for good governance, the rule of law, and democracy. I gained recognition after reciting a poignant poem at a vigil for the assassinated journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. The turning point in my activism came during the 2019-2020 protests when my impassioned speech, accusing Prime Minister Muscat of stealing my generation’s future, garnered widespread attention and even death threats. Despite the challenges, I continued to speak out and later transitioned into formal politics.
Let me be your voice.
