Energy minister shuns
Opposition's call for a
state of emergency to
be declared
KARL AZZOPARDI AND
MATTHEW VELLA
FOUR persons have died over
the weekend as a direct result
of the sweltering temperatures
which have swept Malta over
the past week.
A health ministry spokesper-
son confirmed that between the
22 and 23 July, one death was
attributed to hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia is an elevated
body temperature above the
normal range, leading to symp-
toms like sweating, dehydra-
tion, rapid breathing, and con-
fusion.

MIRIAM Dalli has shunned calls
to declare the current electricity
crisis a national emergency, insist-
ing the immediate priority is to re-
store power as quickly as possible.
"What difference will it make
to what we are doing now? Now
is not the time for political the-
atrics," the Energy Minister said
in reaction to Opposition leader
Bernard Grech's call for a na-
tional emergency to be declared.
