The former Nationalist candidate at the heart of MEPA’s opposition to reinstate him in its own audit office is not excluding standing for election.
Asked by MaltaToday if he would be running in the next general elections, Carmal Cacopardo, also a former PN official, said: “Not at the moment.”
But he did not exclude the possibility. Cacopardo was until recently an investigating officer with MEPA’s auditor Joe Falzon, before falling out of favour with the PN, despite hving held the post of information secretary.
His posting, a three-year tenure as investigator for Joe Falzon, has not been renewed by MEPA, which claims Cacopardo is incompatible with the post, noting his letters in the press on MEPA, and his participation in an Alternattiva Demokratika debate on MEPA reform.
Cacopardo hit back on Friday when his lawyer Toni Abela lodged a judicial protest against MEPA, its chairman, and Environment Minister George Pullicino, claiming discrimination.
