It said that it believes in freedom of expression as it deems the Maltese capable enough to choose what should reach them and what should not. GWU Youths stated that its inclusion within the Front means that it is in favour of freedom of thought that does not foment racial, ethnic or religious hatred.

GWU Youths said that “those who hold top positions, the civil and also ecclesiastic authorities should not ride on anachronistic laws in order to hinder artistic expressions which they dislike. These authorities, though obliged to transmit values which keep our society sane, do not have the right to bar expressed thoughts.”

The GWU Youths believe that “as an EU member state we need to follow practices which make us freer to express ourselves. Certain anachronistic laws need to be changed in order to reflect our times.”
