Konrad Mizzi sues PN

Konrad Mizzi will file libel proceedings against the lies and false allegations made today by the Nationalist Party

The statements made this morning by the Nationalist Party representatives are outrageous. The Nationalist Party is alleging corruption with respect to the largest foreign investment of 320 million Euros, which has significantly contributed to Enemalta’s turnaround and Malta’s economic success. This is an outright lie.

Minister Mizzi will be immediately filing libel proceedings against Dr Simon Busuttil as the leader of the Nationalist Party, Dr Jason Azzopardi and Ms. Marthese Portelli.

Through the investment in a corporation, which a former Nationalist Minister valued at one euro, Government has rescued Enemalta, reduced its debt by half and launched an investment programme in power distribution. Tariffs have also been reduced by 80 million Euros, credit rating has been upgraded and the Marsa Power Station has been closed down.

The only corruption relating to Enemalta is the oil scandal which occurred under the previous administration, which persisted with the use of oil. Notwithstanding clear recommendations to shift from oil to gas the Nationalist administration invested in a new oil fired plant.

Government will continue to work to deliver more results.
