Malta’s prime minister confirms that the country will have free gender affirming surgery for trans people, under reformed laws.
Robert Abela attended Malta’s Pride event on 10 September, where he shared the news that changes are being made to the country’s current LGBTQ+ rights.
The PM told local ONE Radio: “My presence yesterday, as well as that of ministers and MPs, symbolises the messages that while we have done a lot, more is yet to come.
While we’re proud of what we did, more needs to be done.” Abela, who is leader of Malta’s Labour Party, also mentioned that the nations ban on gay men donating blood was recently lifted.
