Labour leader Joe Muscat began touring different areas of Malta yesterday, beginning with Gozo, along with his newly-elected deputy leaders.

Speaking about specific Gozo problems, the Labour leader pointed out that whereas Gozo used to have fewer than 500 unemployed, only three months out of the last 52 had seen fewer than 600 unemployed, and there were even 19 months in which unemployment had gone over the 700 mark.
