Wait 5 sec.

Opposition Leader Alex Borg has criticised the government over Malta’s continuing power cuts, arguing that apologies are no longer enough and calling for immediate action to strengthen the country’s electricity infrastructure.In a video filmed while visiting localities affected by electricity outages, Borg said he wanted to see firsthand how residents were coping with another night without power.He accused the government of focusing on political attacks instead of addressing the impact the outages are having on families, vulnerable people, businesses and the elderly.According to Borg, the issue is no longer isolated incidents but a recurring problem that returns “summer after summer”, leaving people to endure high temperatures without electricity. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lovin Malta (@lovinmalta)He also pointed to Thursday night’s UEFA Conference League qualifier between Floriana and FC Drita, which was interrupted three times by power cuts, saying the incident highlighted the scale of the country’s electricity problems.Describing what he had witnessed while touring affected areas, Borg said he saw residents sitting inside their parked cars with the air conditioning running because their homes had no electricity.While acknowledging that government apologies are important, Borg argued they must now be followed by concrete action.He called for a clear long-term plan to strengthen Malta’s infrastructure, saying the country needs reliable solutions that give families and businesses peace of mind rather than facing the same problems every summer.“I will continue applying the necessary pressure to ensure action is taken today rather than tomorrow,” Borg said.What do you make of the points raised?Video credits to Alex Borg•
