Evarist Bartolo questions how

Former minister Evarist Bartolo has asked how Prime Minister Robert Abela take difficult decisions when he is much weaker now than when he won the 2022 general election.

The results of the MEP elections saw the gap between the Labour Party and Nationalist Party shrink significantly to just 8,400 votes

Posting on Facebook, Bartolo said that three years remain until the general election.

"If it hasn't already started, the electoral campaign for 2027 will soon start. A Prime Minister takes difficult decisions in the first two years after winning an election. After a win-loss that he had in the 8 June elections, the Prime Minister is saying that he will take difficult decisions regarding environmental degradation, the number of foreign workers to bring in, excessive construction, the way restaurants put out tables and chairs on the streets, and what kind of economy we will have in order to think long-term for the benefit of our country... These are problems that have been accumulating over the years, inherited from one government to the next, and they require a united national effort to be addressed seriously."

"The Prime Minister didn't start taking these needed decisions after the 2022 election when he was much stronger and able to lose votes (instead there is where he made it worse or let things become worse and that is why we saw the electoral result last Saturday) , how will he take them on the eve of the 2027 election when he is far weaker and doesn't really afford to lose votes? Will this difficult change occur en route?"
