The Nationalist Party, led by Bernard Grech, has presented a motion of no confidence in Parliament against the Energy Minister Miriam Dalli. The motion was jointly presented by Mark Anthony Sammut, the Spokesman for Energy and Enterprise, and Robert Cutajar, the Whip of the Parliamentary Group.
The decision came, according to the PN, after the Minister failed to recognise the severity of the crisis, leaving thousands of citizens to endure continuous blackouts for extended periods daily.
In a press release, the Nationalist Party said that it had been pressing for an urgent meeting of Parliament for almost a week to address the energy crisis and hold the Energy Minister accountable for her handling of the situation. Prime Minister Robert Abela dismissed the opposition’s calls as mere political gimmicks.
The crisis unfolded as Maltese citizens faced increasingly frequent and prolonged power outages throughout the past week and a half.
