ABBA (Шаблон:Lang-mt) is a far-right and Christian right political party in Malta.
History
The party was founded in 2021 by Ivan Grech Mintoff, the former leader of Alleanza Bidla.[1] The party's registrations was initially refused by the Electoral Commission due to the party's name not being able to be shortened to an acronym. In response to this ABBA filed a judicial protest claiming the commission was discriminating against them. The Electoral Commission later agreed to register the party.[1][2] ABBA took part in the 2022 Maltese General Elections with candidates in all 13 districts,[3] they received 0.42% of votes.[4] Some ABBA candidates which ran in the election where also members of the Christian Charismatic Pentecostal group River of Love.[5]
Ideology
ABBA is against COVID restrictions, forming two trade unions in an attempt to fight against them.[6] The party wishes for a national referendum to take place on the Recreational Use of Cannabis, believing the laws introduced that partially legalised recreational cannabis in Malta go against their Christian beliefs.[7]
The party describes itself as pro-life, with founder Ivan Mintoff claiming the Labour and Nationalist parties are "proposing a culture of death" and wish to legalise abortion. The party has filed a police complaint demanding the criminal investigation of 18 Maltese pro-choice activists and organisations.[8] Certain members of the party have espoused various controversial beliefs such as vaccine scepticism, being in favour of freedom of choice.[9]
