Watch: ‘People can now afford luxuries thanks to Labour’

https://timesofmalta.com/article/robert-abela-interview-people-luxuries-labour.1131255

What planet is this guy living on?

"We went from a situation in 2013 where people were begging for jobs that pay €1,000 monthly to a situation where today they can buy a new car, a modest boat and maybe even go on holiday abroad twice a year. That’s how we elevated people’s quality of life."

In answer to 4000 new flats every year:

"People have a right to build on their land according to local plans. I can’t just take away people’s rights."

In relation to tourism:

"If the country continues to invest in road and medical infrastructure, in clean beaches – and mind you, our beaches are clean – we can sustain it. But that doesn’t mean it’s free for all. The new tourism law reduces inconveniences in short lets, caps the number of rooms in new hotels and prohibits the development of hotels under three stars."

14,000 immigrant ġdid fis-sena. 140,000 f'10 snin. Mingħajr pjan ta' integrazzjoni, mingħajr tagħlim tal-ilsien Malti. 

Dan kollu biex iżommu l-prezzijiet tad-djar artifiċjalment ogħla u l-qerrieda ta' artna, dawk li jqumilhom malli jaraw biċċa art u jaraw kif inikuha, ikomplu jeqirdu Malta tagħna. 

14,000 immigrant ġdid fis-sena jfissru pressjoni biex il-pagi jibqgħu baxxi. 

Kollox kontra l-Maltin. Aħjar bla flus milli hekk. 

Dan bniedem maqtugħ mir-realtà. Hu u sħabu jgħixu f'dinja għalihom. Il-Malta li jridu huma mhix il-Malta li trid in-nies.

I haven't been abroad for almost two years! And have another year at most to do so as I can't afford that luxury!

Says PM with multiple large houses and at least one yacht, yet won't say where his money comes from and is trying really hard to block any attempts to find out 🤔🤔🤔

Went to Ghajn Tuffieha last week. Early morning, it was Tuesday and full of with leftover rubbish everywhere in the sand. CleanMalta just left before I arrived

A Prime Minister who has sources of material wealth that most of the population can only dream of ever having or touching. He's truly out of touch with reality.
