Malta scraps €90M electric bus plan, losing EU and private funding, facing environmental backlash.

The Maltese government has scrapped a €90 million plan to electrify its bus fleet, leading to the loss of €50 million in private funding and €7 million in EU funding for charging infrastructure. The Nationalist Party claims this decision shows a "lack of direction" and breaches agreements with the European Commission. The move means diesel buses will continue operating, raising environmental concerns.
