A Nationalist government would dishonour an 18-year agreement with Electrogas if it means cheaper electricity, said Opposition leader Simon Busuttil. He was presenting the Opposition's reaction to the week-old Budget 2016 and also took the government to task on the traffic issue, fuel prices and the publication of two differing budget documents.
