Alex Borg says that PL is \u2018in a state of panic\u2019<\/p>\n
Nationalist Party leader Alex Borg said that the Labour Party is in a “state of panic”, and that it is becoming increasingly clear that this is the reason that Prime Minister Robert Abela called a general election a year early.<\/p>\n
“The more days pass, the more we realise what the reason [for calling the election early] was: because you can see they state of panic that they are in,” he said of the PL, as he addressed supporters in Valletta.<\/p>\n
The PN hosted a political event in the capital on Monday evening, with the party’s candidates on the 1st<\/sup> electoral district each addressing supporters. Also addressing supporters was veteran MP Mario De Marco, who bowed out of politics after 23 years in Parliament.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Closing the event, Borg said that throughout this electoral campaign, the PN has offered a clear vision, while the PL has been “reactive” and “copied the PN at every corner.”<\/p>\n “From Day One, we showed you that we were prepared and determined to fulfil what we promised,” he said, as he continued that the party had issued a set of targeted, realistic, and costed proposals every day.<\/p>\n “Every proposal came from the people, not from contrabandists or criminals,” Borg said, as a jibe at his Labour Party counterpart who accused the PN of having “Malta’s biggest fuel contrabandist” behind the party’s proposal to set up a fuel hub off Hurd’s Bank.<\/p>\n Borg ran through several of the party’s proposals unveiled so far in the campaign, stopping on the party’s health sector proposals – which were the first that it announced in this electoral campaign.<\/p>\n
