Watch: This Is The Worst PN In Malta’s History, Transport Minister Aaron Farrugia Claims
Transport and Infrastructure Minister Aaron Farrugia has fired a broadside at the Opposition, claiming that the PN has hit its lowest point in its 96-year history.
“When the PN published its pre-budget document and my team printed it and placed it in front of me, I could see that besides all the typos and broken Maltese, there was nothing tangible in it,” Farrugia said on ONE TV’s Pjazza last night.
“Since losing the general election seven months ago, they have removed several proposals that have been rejected by the public. However, after reading their current proposals, I can say hand on heart that this is the worst PN we have had in our history. They have hit a new low that we used to think they couldn’t hit.”
The PN’s pre-budget document had several typos and grammatical mistakes, but PN leader Bernard Grech brushed off criticism by saying he is glad criticism has been limited to the party’s spelling mistakes and not its policies.
PL MP and former minister Edward Zammit Lewis rubbed salt in the PN’s wounds by warning that Malta’s biggest rule of law challenge is that “we don’t have an opposition in a constitutional sense.”
“Bernard Grech says that the government doesn’t have a long-term plan, when the PN’s long-term plan for the energy sector was to give people free energy-saving bulbs, tell them to use the washing machine at night, vote wholeheartedly for higher electricity bills, and mock a power station, with all its defects, as Alice in Wonderland,” he said, going back some ten years to the last PN government.
