He worked his way towards the comment aimed at the Infrastructure Minister by saying that the Labour government’s approach towards the environment was, and is, myopic, lacking in ideas and any sense of creativity.

Grech added that Malta’s overall environment – ranging from natural environment to even workspaces, pension homes and even seasides, which see the employment of many Maltese – is a major concern for the Nationalist Party.
