The government is ignoring the housing crisis caused by its own lack of planning and pro-immigration policies, the Nationalist Party said in a statement today.
Recent reports have shown individuals sleeping in farms, garages, public gardens and on the beach, with the PN saying that half of these individuals are migrants. This has led to people voicing their displeasure by commenting and posting on social media.
The PN said that estate agents have made it clear that rental prices have long exceeded the €200 and €300 threshold, and are now only available at a minimum of €500 per month.
Organisations have not even been able to keep up with the number migrants staying in Malta, pointing out that the Executive Chairman of the Housing Authority admitted that the government has not done enough on this issue.
The PN stated that the presence of 10,000 migrants per year between 2014 and 2016, and 15,000 throughout the last year have led to the economy "growing through population but not through production". It believed the government has not thought of the long-term effects mass immigration has had on the "wages of Maltese workers, traffic, infrastructure, prices, rent, and the environment".
