Nationalist Party leader Bernard Grech joined the farmers’ protest yesterday, saying that we need to be able to guarantee ‘food and water’ in Malta.
Speaking to the farmers and journalists, the Opposition leader said that he has been vying for this point for the last 3 and a half years.
He added that consultations for the rights of farmers do not start on the day of the protest but is, instead, an ongoing process.
Bernard Grech said that the PN had brought up the issue of how the laws will impact the livelihoods of farmers, but the laws passed nonetheless.
He said that he understands that governments try to do what is best, but in such circumstances, the government needs to do much more.
