Government broken own spending plans says Azopardi

In his budget speech, Leader of the Opposition Keith Azopardi criticised the Chief Minister’s “temerity of calling this the people’s budget”.

“Some or all of these new revenue raising measures wouldn’t need to happen if the Government had been disciplined last year, if they had been disciplined from the beginning,” he continued.
“This is a case, simply put, of passing the bill onto people for their failures, of Mr. Picardo asking the people to bail him out of his mistakes and then, with drama, trying to convince them that it’s not his fault.”
