'Labour has sold Malta', Bernard Grech tells PN protest
The Labour government has dirtied, uglified and sold Malta because of corruption, Nationalist party leader Bernard Grech said on Sunday. Addressing a protest called by the PN because of “worsening quality of life and an increasing cost of living”, Grech said this is leading young people to leave the country. “I spoke to a young person who left because Malta who you know matters more than what you know under this government,” he said. Video: Matthew Mirabelli Grech was speaking at the end of a protest during which participants waved Maltese flags and carried placards saying "I want free media", "Stop environmental destruction", "Medicines out of stock", "Traffic has choked us" and "I want my children to keep living here". Composed of an older demographic, the crowd marched to the tune of Queen's "We will rock you", "I Want To Break Free" and other protest songs from Valletta’s main entrance to the stage, a few metres from the law courts. Grech spoke on the cost of living, saying this had seen a record increase in spite of government statistics that did not truthfully measure the extent of the rise, Grech said.
