Maltese Government

The Maltese government is a parliamentary democracy led by a Prime Minister who is the head of government. It has a President as the ceremonial head of state. The government’s responsibilities include making laws, managing public services, and overseeing the economy. Power is divided among the executive (Prime Minister and Cabinet), the legislature (Parliament), and the judiciary (courts). Malta’s Parliament is called the House of Representatives, elected by citizens. The government operates within a constitution that guarantees democratic rights, ensuring policies reflect the will of the people while maintaining checks and balances across branches.
