Bernard Grech has urged Prime Minister Robert Abela to take immediate action by declaring a state of national emergency to effectively respond to the ongoing power outage crisis in the country. During a press conference held in Birżebbuġa, near the Delimara power plant, Grech, along with MP Mark Anthony Sammut, called on the government to mobilize all available resources, including the army and police, to address the situation.

He emphasized the need for efficient communication channels to assist people facing water and energy-related problems. Grech also suggested making unaffected public buildings accessible to those who are left without electricity due to the power cuts.

Several localities have experienced continuous power outages, impacting water supply in certain areas as well. Grech stressed that the situation constitutes a national crisis and an emergency that requires urgent attention from the government. He pointed out the dire situation at the public hospital, Mater Dei, which lacked electricity and a functional generator during the power outage, highlighting the government’s failure to adequately invest in both the energy and health sectors.

Grech emphasized that now is the time for the government to provide compensation and assistance to the affected people. He had previously written to the government and the Speaker of the House, urging them to hold an urgent parliamentary session to address the consecutive outages and the national crisis.
