Poverty in Malta discussed in Brussels

MEP Claudette Abela Baldacchino said that poverty in Malta as well in other European countries could be addressed if the project 'Social Europe' is placed in the heart of the EU agenda.

Abela Baldacchino met with the Maltese delegation of the European Anti-Poverty Network, currently participating in a conference which brings together anti-poverty throughout the EU.

Fr Saviour Grima from the Millenium Chapel, and Fr Emanuel Cordina from Oasi head the Maltese delegation.

The rest of the delegation is made up of two Maltese who were invited to share their poverty experience, and a refugee currently residing at the Marsa open centre.
