The Labour Party has released a new social media video taking aim at Opposition Leader Alex Borg and the Nationalist Party over comments on government subsidies.The video, captioned “B’Alex Borg u l-PN, sussidji ‘short-lived’”, strings together multiple clips of Borg speaking about subsidies, particularly in relation to energy bills.In the clips, Borg is heard saying that subsidies are not a long-term solution, describing them as “short term” measures and questioning whether Malta can continue relying on them to keep bills low.The same message is also being pushed offline, with billboards carrying the “short-lived subsidies” line now being spotted across Malta.
