# PN Questions Delay in Government Power Cut Compensation Scheme

## In brief

- The Nationalist Party has criticised the government for delays in paying promised power cut compensation.
- Opposition officials noted that application forms have not yet been published a month after disruptions.
- The compensation was pledged to assist families and businesses affected by prolonged outages.

The Nationalist Party has questioned why the government has yet to distribute promised compensation to consumers and businesses affected by prolonged electricity outages.

Opposition spokespersons noted that one month after the disruption and subsequent government pledges, application forms for the financial compensation scheme have not yet been released to the public.

The party criticised the administrative delay, arguing that households and commercial establishments suffered significant inconvenience and financial loss during the extended blackouts without receiving timely support.

The government had announced plans to compensate impacted consumers following extensive power distribution failures across several localities.

## The Spin Room

**Medium media divide.** Independent outlets reported the Opposition's criticism regarding compensation delays, whilst ONE News and TVM News had not reported on the statement at the time of writing.
