Prime Minister Robert Abela hailed his government’s budget largesse that include tax cuts and increased public spending during yesterday’s Parliamentary speech. He also compared his government’s budget and Malta’s economic situation with other countries including the UK which made spending reductions in benefits and France which is contemplating increasing the retirement age.
The Prime Minister also hailed the economic growth in Malta which is among the highest in the EU and said that the Labour government will keep striving to increase economic growth. The Prime Minister also highlighted that his government is reducing the deficit and it aims at moving closer to a budgetary surplus next year.
There was ruckus in Parliament as the Prime Minister mentioned the decision of the ICC tribunal on the public hospitals contract with Adrian Delia being suspended from the chamber. The Prime Minister also accused the Opposition Leader of casting an image of doom and gloom about Malta’s economy, referring to his speech in parliament.
The Prime Minister also announced that the government will turn the abandoned White Rocks site into a family park.
