Bio
Momentum (Partit Momentum) is a Maltese centrist and reformist political force. 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.
