Families will soon be receiving a second cost of living allowance cheque, Prime Minister Robert Abela told supporters at a Labour rally in Sta Lucia on Tuesday night.
Robert Abela looked back over the past eleven years of the Labour government and the challenges faced, citing the recent world Covid pandemic as one of the major challenges the island had to face. Coupled with conflicts around the world, food and utility prices rose.
However, this Labour government, instead of putting up the price of fuel, provided Maltese with a subsidy to keep down the cost of petrol and diesel and also the cost of electricity.
In a dig at the Opposition Nationalist Party, the Prime Minister said for the MEP elections on the 8th of June, voters had a clear choice: those who only care for the blue side of the island and those who work for all of Malta and Gozo.
