The Nationalist Party said Friday that two days after several individuals escaped following an emergency landing flight at the airport, there has been absolute silence from the Government.
"A gag has been placed on the responsible authorities to explain what happened in this case of national importance, which reveals serious security shortcomings in the country," the PN said in a statement.
It is surreal that, two days after several individuals escaped from a flight that made an emergency landing at Malta International Airport on New Year's Day, the Labour Government has yet to issue any statement or confirmation regarding the current situation and what steps have been taken, the PN said through its spokesman Darren Carabott..
The government has effectively gagged the responsible authorities from providing any explanation of what happened, the PN said.
This is a matter of national importance, where serious shortcomings in our country's security have been exposed - with two individuals still on the run and an ongoing search underway.
It is scandalous that in such an important case, neither Prime Minister Robert Abela nor, even less so, the Minister responsible for Home Affairs and Security Byron Camilleri, have uttered a single word about what is happening.
Silence signifies incompetence, and this is yet another clear example of the Government trying to sweep everything under the carpet, the PN said.
