PN Leader Supports Malta’s Mandate Wearing a Mask
PN leader Bernard Grech supported the government’s mandate to wear the mask to combat the spread of COVID-19, stressing that his party has always been in favor of the measure.
“We were told that vaccines were not the only solution and masks were needed to limit the spread of COVID-19, but they mocked us, now we are being proved right,” he said.
Still, Grech stressed that the government needs to be more transparent with the data used to justify the measure.
Malta has made it mandatory to wear masks in all public places, even in the countryside. It was on the receiving side of criticism.
Grech also referred to the forthcoming vote on cannabis reform, which the PN is opposing. He reiterated calls for the parliamentary committee on petitions to discuss a petition from NGOs on the subject, a last-ditch attempt to delay the procedure.
“The government does not want the petition to be discussed. They are not even listening to their former MP and the President, “he said.
The PN leader also reiterated calls for Education Minister Justyne Caruana to resign following a report by the Standards Commissioner on her providing employment to her boyfriend, Daniel Bogdanovic.
