After just a few months in Brussels, Labour MEP Daniel Attard says he's not convinced that traffic has increased in Malta, the Natuonalist Party said in a statement Monday.

After only three months in Brussels, Labour MEP Daniel Attard appears to have already completely disconnected from the daily reality faced by the Maltese who spend long hours in traffic, the statement, signed by spokesman Mark Anthony Sammut, said.

Just last year, a study published by the Faculty for Social Wellbeing at the University of Malta showed that 97% of Maltese people believe traffic has increased considerably in the last two or three years. It seems that Labour MEP Daniel Attard and the Labour Government are among the 3% who think this is not the case, the PN said.

If they don't even acknowledge that there's a problem, let alone how will they solve it, the party added.
