Note for the uninitiated. This kind of behavior is deeply offensive. It shows a deep sense inconsiderateness, lack of empathy, apart from being a total dereliction of duty.
The head of government is expected to be present during national crises or critical challenges. The Summer blackouts caused by a disintegrating electric grid is akin to a small crisis.

Traveling on holiday as Prime Minister while your country has an ongoing crisis with its electric grid is the Maltese epitome of “x’jimpurtanti minn kollox u minn kul?add?!”.
