When his back is against the wall, Robert Abela resorts to lies

The PN categorically denies the Labour Leader’s allegations – if he has any information, he should take it to the Police

It is evident that Robert Abela is in a state of panic over the proposals being announced, day after day, by the Partit Nazzjonalista.

Although he may think he can catch the PN off guard with allegations such as those he made today about the Mediterranean Maritime Fuel Hub proposal, it is clear that the Partit Nazzjonalista is more prepared to lead the country than a Labour Party that is tired and out of ideas.

The Partit Nazzjonalista categorically denies what Abela said and reiterates that every proposal it is putting forward is being made following consultation with experts who have studied its proposals in detail.

These proposals are being well received by the public and by key stakeholders in our country, including this proposal, which will lead to the removal of the gas tanker that residents of Marsaxlokk and Birżebbuġa had been promised by the Labour Government itself would be removed after three years.

The Prime Minister may not have realised that this same proposal was also well received by the Chairman of the Malta Maritime Forum, who said that the introduction of a bunkering facility outside Marsaxlokk Bay is extremely important for the future of the maritime sector.

The Partit Nazzjonalista invites Abela, if he has any information, to take it to the Police.

Maltese and Gozitan families expect Robert Abela, instead of inventing stories and trying to scare people with bogeymen, to offer his own vision for new economic niches, as Alex Borg and the Partit Nazzjonalista are doing.

It is clear, however, that because Robert Abela has no way of continuing to grow the Maltese economy other than by pursuing a policy of cheap labour from outside the EU, he is resorting to negative politics and scaremongering.
