Alternattiva Demokratika chairman Michael Briguglio said yesterday that social policy should be based on equality, inclusion and social justice.
Addressing a press conference in Valletta he said: “In Parliament, AD will be the voice of social justice, equality and social inclusion. A socially just and sustainable welfare state should be universal in scope, yet should consider citizens as individuals with particular realities and lifestyles.”
Dr Briguglio said the country’s welfare system should not be based on the male breadwinner model but should cater for different family and household types.
“The welfare state should empower people to emancipate themselves while ensuring that nobody lives in poverty and that precariousness is avoided,” he said.
