The Labour Party this morning accused Simon Busuttil and the Nationalist Party of hypocrisy following a statement issued by the PN about the departure of Arriva.

The PN expressed solidarity with the Arriva workers and called on the government to lay out its plans and end uncertainty. It also called for a transparent process to select the new transport operator.

The Labour Party said it was the Nationalist government which had created this problem and made Malta a laughing stock.

The then government had said the time of clowning about was ending (zmien is buzullotti spicca) but it was clear that it had been actually starting.

The Muscat government was now working to restore public transport in a way which would give efficiency to the people while protecting all workers, the PL said.
