Earlier today at a Labour Party event in Mellieħa, Prime Minister Robert Abela stated that a general election will not be held before the full implementation of the electoral manifesto.

Abela looked back at a year of progress for the Labour Government stating “Looking back, I can safely say what a year this has been”, going on to recall the government’s performance during the pandemic.

The Prime Minister also confidently stated that Malta will be one of the first countries to return to normality and called out the naysayers who criticised Abela’s claims that the country will go back to the ‘business-as-usual’ routine.
