Ahead of the Extroardinary Summit of the Heads of Government of the Eurozone countries today in Brussels, Opposition Leader Simon Busuttil today called on the Maltese Prime Minister to redouble his efforts to safeguard Malta’s national interests.

“We are in an unprecedented situation in which, for the first time, a country is on the brink of the eurozone exit. Such an exit will have significant repercussions, not just on Greece, but for the entire zone, including Malta,” the PN Leader said.

“I call upon the Prime Minister to redouble his efforts to protect our national interest. There is a lot at stake for us, both in terms of our dept exposure with Greece, as well as our interest as a Eurozone country,” Dr Busuttil said.
