If there was ever need of proof that the political parties namely the Labour party and the Nationalist party are closed books when it comes to their internal finances, the proof came with the abrasive answer given to this newspaper by Joe Saliba, Secretary General of the Nationalist party.
Mr Saliba made it clear that MaltaToday had no right to further information on the PN’s finances. “Regular meetings are held by our administrative bodies to discuss and analyse, amongst other matters, the PN Organisation’s accounts. It is the right of the members within these bodies, to have access to the information you requested, and not MaltaToday.”
Forgetting all arguments about transparency in politics, Mr Saliba suggested that this newspaper looks elsewhere: “I suggest that if MaltaToday wants the whole picture of the PN organisation’s financial details, you can try to get it in the same manner your paper did with the Malta Labour Party’s accounts.”
