The Leader of the Nationalist Party, Bernard Grech, has called for an urgent meeting with the MCESD to discuss the ongoing crisis of continuous power cuts that the people of Malta and Gozo have been facing.
In his message, Bernard Grech stated that the Maltese people deserve a government that plans and invests wisely in the power supply, providing necessary guarantees. He pointed out that it is becoming increasingly clear that the current government has failed to invest properly, leading to this continuous crisis due to a lack of planning and investment in infrastructure by the Labour Government over the past 10 years.
In the same address, Bernard Grech noted that many people are enduring long hours without power, severely affecting daily life and causing businesses to lose opportunities. Many are also forced to use generators outside their homes, creating continuous noise and further polluting the air.
He stated that the government should compensate those who suffered and incurred damage to appliances and other domestic equipment due to the power cuts. However, this compensation does not diminish the need for the government to take responsibility for this significant failure, which continues to bring new hardships to the people.
Bernard Grech stated that a Nationalist Party in government would invest seriously in the power distribution network to prevent the national crisis experienced last summer and the blackouts of recent weeks. He promised that the people would no longer suffer from power shortages and outages and that they would receive the best service based on a sustainable economic model that improves the quality of life for everyone.
