The People's Party (Maltese: Partit Popolari, PP), also erroneously called by Maltese media as Popular Party,[7] is a conservative political party in Malta. It was founded in July 2020 and is currently headed by Paul Salomone. The party has never obtained any seats in local councils or the Maltese parliament. It does not contest European elections. It is considered right-wing[8] to far-right[5][9] by certain journalists and portals, however the party protests against the latter characterisation.[10]
