The Labour government continues to make a mockery of the Equality Act and its principles by proposing to introduce constitutional amendments in relation to the act at a time when the country faces a national crisis with a series of constant and ongoing electricity cuts.
The Opposition left the Chamber yesterday as Rosianne Cutajar brought the bill to a vote. The bill needs a two-thirds majority due to the Constitutional amendments in Parliament and hence the bill will not pass.
The Labour Party already made a mockery of this act by appointing Rosianne Cutajar as the Minister meant to pilot it, but it is now engaging in explicit cognitative dissonance to amend the constitution on what is widely perceived to be a non-consequential act while the government is unable to provide electricity to households and businesses.
As already discussed, the Labour Party has no genuine interest with these laws other than to divert attention from its complete takeover of state institutions and the inevitable consequences, such a the extensive corruption and incompetence leading to the current electricity blackouts.
Everyone is asking why โthe greatest investment the Maltese government has ever madeโ since 2022 is still not producing any actual positive results, with electricity blackouts remaining equally relentless year after year. The majority of the population expects answers from the Energy Minister, while the Labour Party is putting Rosianne Cutajar, of all people, at the forefront of its efforts to amend the Constitution through her โequality amendmentsโ.
It takes a tremendous amount of courage to remain hopeful for your country and society when faced with such a gross and catastrophic scenario, but here we are.
The Constitutional amendments can be found here in article 58.
