It was launched on 17 January 2025 by Arnold Cassola and the team of his campaign for the European Parliament, and registered as a political party by the Electoral Commission in April 2025, with the aim of offering Malta a credible alternative beyond its traditional two-party landscape. It became the first Maltese party to join the European Democratic Party and, in the general election of May 2026, won 1.54% of first-preference votes, the highest share among parties outside Parliament. At the heart of Momentum's project lie **accountability, civic participation, sustainability** and a pragmatic, inclusive approach to public policy. It champions **transparency and good governance**, environmental responsibility, and a politics that places the public interest and the engagement of citizens above partisan rivalry. Within the European Democratic Party, which it joined in 2025, Momentum embodies a conviction at the core of the EDP's vision: that even the smallest member states deserve a renewed, transparent and citizen-centred politics, and that a Europe close to its citizens is built by those who dare to offer something new. ## Members ![](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27300%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)![](https://democrats.gumlet.io/images/Members/Mark-Camilleri-Gambin.png?width=400&height=300&mode=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=50&fp-y=50) [](https://www.linkedin.com/in/macamilleri/) [Mark Camilleri Gambin ](https://democrats.eu/members/mark-camilleri-gambin/)Deputy Secretary General Malta Momentum ## Related news ![Momentum](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27411%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)![Momentum](https://democrats.gumlet.io/images/athens-congress-final-photo-24-october.jpg?width=400&height=411&mode=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=50&fp-y=50)[Spazio Pubblico](https://democrats.eu/parties/spazio-pubblico/)[Junts per Catalunya](https://democrats.eu/parties/junts-per-catalunya/) 25 10 2026 [Europe's Democrats Speak: 18 Voices, One Shared Future ](https://democrats.eu/news/europes-democrats-speak-18-voices-one-shared-future/)[Read more](https://democrats.eu/news/europes-democrats-speak-18-voices-one-shared-future/) ![Momentum](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27411%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)![Momentum](https://democrats.gumlet.io/images/leader-summit-2026.jpg?width=400&height=411&mode=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=50&fp-y=50)[EAJ-PNV Euzko Alderdi Jeltzalea](https://democrats.eu/parties/eaj-pnv/)[Italia Viva](https://democrats.eu/parties/italia-viva/) 16 10 2026 [Power or submission: EDP at the Renew Europe Leaders' Summit ](https://democrats.eu/news/power-or-submission-edp-at-the-renew-europe-leaders-summit/)[Read more](https://democrats.eu/news/power-or-submission-edp-at-the-renew-europe-leaders-summit/) ![Momentum](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27411%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)![Momentum](https://democrats.gumlet.io/images/thumbnail-8.jpeg?width=400&height=411&mode=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=50&fp-y=50)[EAJ-PNV Euzko Alderdi Jeltzalea](https://democrats.eu/parties/eaj-pnv/)[Momentum](https://democrats.eu/parties/momentum/) 25 02 2026 [Bilbao, 21 November: the EDP calls for a global alliance of democrats against the authoritarian wave ](https://democrats.eu/news/bilbao-21-november-the-edp-calls-for-a-global-alliance-of-democrats-against-the-authoritarian-wave/)[Read more](https://democrats.eu/news/bilbao-21-november-the-edp-calls-for-a-global-alliance-of-democrats-against-the-authoritarian-wave/) ![Momentum](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27411%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)![Momentum](https://democrats.gumlet.io/images/thumbnail-6.jpeg?width=400&height=411&mode=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=50&fp-y=50)[Mindenki Magyarországa Néppárt](https://democrats.eu/parties/mindenki-magyarorsz%C3%A1ga-n%C3%A9pp%C3%A1rt/)[Δημοκράτες – Προοδευτικό Κέντρο](https://democrats.eu/parties/demokrates-progressive-centre/) 28 11 2025 [New energy for the European project: new members and guests at the EDP Congress in Bilbao ](https://democrats.eu/news/new-energy-for-the-european-project-new-members-and-guests-at-the-edp-congress-in-bilbao/)[Read more](https://democrats.eu/news/new-energy-for-the-european-project-new-members-and-guests-at-the-edp-congress-in-bilbao/) ![Momentum](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27411%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)![Momentum](https://democrats.gumlet.io/images/image001.png?width=400&height=411&mode=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=50&fp-y=50)[Momentum](https://democrats.eu/parties/momentum/) 14 05 2025 [The European Democratic Party welcomes Momentum: a new centrist energy for Malta and Europe ](https://democrats.eu/news/the-european-democratic-party-welcomes-momentum/)[Read more](https://democrats.eu/news/the-european-democratic-party-welcomes-momentum/) ## Sign up for our newsletter Get all the latest information straight to your inbox <!\[CDATA\[YII-BLOCK-BODY-END\]\]>
