Malta’s Prime Minister Robert Abela took a dig at newly-elected nationalist party PN leader Bernard Grech, who had said he would state he was Greek when travelling abroad due to his shame at being affiliated with the Maltese government.
He told his party’s station, ONE News, that his philosophy is different and that he is committed to being Maltese rather than Greek.
“Sometimes I don’t even believe what I’m seeing or hearing. Ashamed that you are Maltese? We should be proud across the board that we are Maltese and Gozitans, ma tarax,” Mr Abela said.

“My primary philosophy is: I am proud to be Maltese. That last budget? We did it because we are so proud to be Maltese.”
