The Maltese Society Commission, set up by the Nationalist Party, aims to conduct studies on the Maltese society, and subsequently make recommendations to the party. PN said that such recommendations could in turn be adopted by the party in its policies and organisations, in order to better meet the needs of society. PN leader announced that the commission will be headed by Dr Joe Cassar; with Dr Edward Curmi, Marisa Vella, Dr Reuben Balzan, Dr Roberta Lepre, Peppi Azzopardi, Stephanie Dimech Sant and Dr Simon Mercieca as commission members. The Commission will study the way PN is seen by different groups in the Maltese society.
