Residenti Beltin - Introduction
The story began in 2001 with a personal blog documenting Valletta residents' way of life. In 2022, ResidentiBeltin officially began advocating for residents' rights.
The Social Movement itself urges every resident to join in the appeal for the vandalism and privatisation to stop, for Valletta to be properly safeguarded and protected in practice. Together with the aim to strengthen the rights of all residents. In 2024, it became a party for the Local Council election.
Aims And Principles :
1. The 'Party' which is in favour of humble service towards the Valletta residents, for the unanimous interest of every Vallettan regardless of the colour of individuals, thus the party falls under an Independent Party. Unfortunately many get elected and then abuse the trust given to them. With the Introduction of Collective Proposals in the field of Local Council Elections, it guarantees a new reform thus preventing the party from doing as it pleases if it enters the Council.
2. The party shall be committed to restoring dignity, peace of mind, respect and rights that every resident should have. According to the law that protects the individual within their home and in public. As branches it operates both as a 'Neighbourhood Watch' as well as a 'Pressure Group'.
3. The party shall be committed to finding a balance between residents and the commercial sector. This after the party felt the pain and the continuous complaints of residents who ended up silenced and targeted by many against them.
4. The party firmly believes in the need for and the protection of the environmental, traditional, cultural and national heritage patrimony that is entirely found in Valletta. For the aim of quality, a better life and with full respect for the rights of future generations of Vallettans. Likewise, the party shall be committed to strengthening and honouring the UNESCO World Heritage title, together with every obligation that this prestige, which was officially bestowed upon Valletta in 1980, carries.
5. The party urges that it be given a wider platform, and carries the voice of residents with absolute transparency. That it acts without any intention or decisions that go against residents, especially those in vulnerable categories. It helps residents as an intermediary where and when possible. With the work of returning the Council into the hands of residents, far from partisanship, and where it believes this can serve as an example in every other locality.
