Could someone translate that Maltese into English for me, please. I tried online translation and it didn&#039;t make much sense.  Thanks.

The government said recently that the recent big increase in the number of private cars on the road is a sign that fuel prices in Malta are cheap compared to Europe.

So if Mr. Autobassis tal-Iljun is complaining about the traffic, why doesn&#039;t the government &lt;em&gt;increase&lt;/em&gt; the price of fuels at the pump to cut down on the use of private cars?

The truth is that:

1. The increase in the number of private cars is not evidence that fuels in Malta are cheap, but that the present government&#039;s roadmap for public transport, if there is one, has been a failure.

2. The price of fuels in Malta is among the highest in Europe, but so far under this Labour government there is no reasonable alternative to the use of the private car.

3. The present government is a government of liars.]]></description>

It&#039;s not a &#039;soft launch&#039; what the Minister promised.  

He promised a soft entry.
