Charles Mangion, deputy leader of the Labour Party, was continuing on the steps of his leader and inventing allegations on the work being done on the drainage recycling plant in Gozo, the Investment, Industry and IT Ministry said.

He is saying that EU funds for the project have not been claimed and are now lost.

This was a lie, intended to deceive.

In fact to date over three million euros of EU funds have been processed. And the Water Services Corporation has already warned the contractor that if any EU funds are lost, he would be held responsible.
