Family of Momentum
The European Democratic Party (EDP) is proud to announce the adhesion to our European political family of Momentum, Malta’s newly established centrist party led by Arnold Cassola —former Secretary General of the European Green Party and a prominent figure in Maltese and European politics. Officially registered as a political party on 4 April 2025, Momentum is a young and dynamic force, aiming to renew the Maltese political landscape with a strong focus on good governance, economic justice and environmental sustainability.
Momentum brings together professionals, engaged citizens, young people and committed activists who believe in ethical politics, transparency, and long-term vision. It is a civic project before being a political one—an effort to build a new leadership class rooted in real life and everyday concerns. Momentum stands out for its pragmatic and inclusive approach. It promotes policies based on accountability, civic participation, and a fairer, greener society.
The Secretary General of Momentum, Mark Camilleri Gambin, stated: “Momentum is proud to join the EDP and we look forward to contribute to bringing about the authentic European values of peace, solidarity and justice in a world that is ablaze with violence and injustice from Ukraine to Gaza”
Sandro Gozi, Secretary General of the EDP, declared: “Momentum’s accession to the European Democratic Party strengthens our commitment to a fairer, more sustainable, and citizen-oriented Europe. In a deeply polarised political climate, the entry of a centrist and reformist force like Momentum sends a hopeful message for the future of European democracy.”
EDP in Guidel 2024
This year, Mouvement Démocrate’s activists, together with members of the European Democratic Party, had the pleasure of visiting Guidel again, where the Europe’s days were held from 27 to 29 September as a fringe event of the ‘Université de rentrée’ (‘back to school university’) event organised by the French party.
Congress of the EDP in Mainz 2023: step towards the future of Europe
The European Democratic Party held an insightful Congress on the 13th of October 2023, in the historic city of Mainz, Germany. Not only did delegations from Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Bulgaria and many other countries have come together to attend this important event, but it also served as a breeding ground for fundamental debates and innovative proposals that address the pressing issues of our era.
Centrist Convention in Guidel: Setting the Agenda for Political Action and Citizen Involvement
Hundreds of activists and political leaders congregated at Guidel over the course of the event. In the same way, as François Bayrou put it: “We believe that the goal of political action is to create a society in which the humanity in each of us flourishes.”, the high attendance of people not only signaled the party’s active role in national affairs but also the society’s interested in being involved in such context.
