KURT SANSONE CORRUPTION is the major over- riding concern for the second month in a row, after COVID-19, a MaltaToday survey shows. Corruption was the topmost con- cern for 12.9% of respondents, increasing six points over March while COVID-19 decreased by eight points as a result of restric- tive measures introduced after cas- es surged in February and March. And while concern over corrup- tion is higher among Nationalist Party voters than Labour Party voters, corruption does appear as a concern among PL voters unlike March when the issue did not fea- ture at all. Whereas 23.6% of those who voted PN in the last general election indicate corruption as their top- most concern after COV- ID, only 4.5% of those who voted PL consider the issue a top concern.
