Deidun flounders, ‘Utility bills reason for PN loss’
Julia Farrugia
Nationalist MEP candidate Alan Deidun yesterday came to terms with the PN’s crushing defeat by saying voters did not understand the European dimension of the EP elections.
According to party observations, Deidun was not registering among the top PN candidates.
“I am disappointed at the result. My thoughts are pretty much those of Tonio Borg (deputy prime minister). Since the PN is the party that has always worked for Europe, I think it deserved to fare better in these elections,” Deidun said.
He added that the PN now had to look into the concerns expressed by the 30,000 odd voters who had given Labour their majority.
“There were many local issues, such as the increase in the utility bills and immigration. Many voters did not understand this was a European election,” Deidun said.
