# ADPD Demands Energy Minister Resign Following Extensive Electricity Outages

## In brief

- ADPD has called on Energy Minister Miriam Dalli to take political responsibility and resign over persistent power cuts.
- The green party argued that repeated electricity failures demonstrate inadequate infrastructure management.
- The calls come as extensive outages have disrupted homes and businesses across both Malta and Gozo.

ADPD has demanded the resignation of Energy Minister Miriam Dalli following widespread power outages that have affected communities across Malta and Gozo.

The green party stated that the recurring disruptions highlight a failure in long-term infrastructure planning and grid reliability, insisting that political accountability must be taken for the ongoing crisis.

Energy distribution issues have led to extensive blackouts in recent days, with Gozo experiencing severe disruptions caused by cable faults in areas including Xewkija and Comino.

ADPD maintained that continuous promises of network upgrades have failed to resolve supply vulnerabilities, leaving residents and businesses facing prolonged interruptions during peak demand.

## The Spin Room

**Medium media divide.** Independent media covered the political demand for the minister's resignation, while ONE News had not reported on the call at the time of writing.

- **MaltaToday:** Focused on ADPD's demand for political responsibility from the Energy Minister amidst severe electricity disruptions.
- **The Malta Independent:** Emphasised the direct call for the minister to step down over persistent power cuts across the islands.
