Nationalist Party leader Bernard Grech issued a statement as court proceedings concerning the Vitals-Steward inquiry continues, which involves a number of former Labour politicians – including former PM Joseph Muscat and former Deputy PM Chris Fearne.
Grech said that Malta needs new leadership and a change in direction.
‘The lack of action from Prime Minister Robert Abela, even after what has emerged from the court, is genuinely worrying. Where are the serious decisions which he promised some weeks ago? This is a compromised Prime Minister’, wrote Grech.
‘Every day that passes wherein Robert Abela remains silent is confirmation of how complicit he is in the biggest frauds our country has ever experienced.’
‘Our country needs a cleaner leadership. The people require genuine and authentic politicians with a politics built around your needs.’
This comes after the magistrate ruled that Chris Fearne, Central Bank Governor Edward Scicluna and senior civil servants should stand trial for fraud, with the Prime Minister not issuing a comment or acting following the ruling.
