The undisputed leader of Malta's opposition Adrian Delia has faced a new setback on his criticism of the government's pro-cryptocurrency position. Delia's comments were reported by the national newspaper The Malta Independent on 6 January.

Malta, whose president Joseph Muscat regularly praises both cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, has sought to become what he describes as "Blockchain Island".

Despite the signing of a large number of agreements and the conspicuous reception of cryptic companies like Binypate Binance on its shores last year, Delia is not convinced of the current trajectory.

For Delia, the lack of activity in recent weeks is a matter of concern.

According to The Independent Independent, who did not directly mention Delia, he considered that "Malta has been advertised as a Bitcoin island by the government but the government has been completely silent during the Christmas holidays practically on everything".

After his comments, Malta's parliamentary secretariat for financial services, digital economy and innovation responded by stating that the Maltese capital Valletta "would have given more peace of mind and protection for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin".

Efforts were also made to ensure that the public was well informed about potential scams in the sector, the Secretariat added.

In October, Malta was one of seven EU member states that signed a declaration to promote the use of blockchains.

Delia is currently faced with distinct demands to abandon her position on domestic abuse allegations, which she denied while adding that she would remain in the workplace.
