Situation in PN
The Malta Independent reveals that former MEP Francis Zammit Dimech offered to mediate between the different sides within the PN. The Times reports that PN Leader Adrian Delia is ruling out a vote of confidence and said that he is growing ‘frustrated’ with some MPs. L-Orizzont says that PN Treasurer David Camilleri stepped down over his participation in the Executive Council voting on Saturday. In-Nazzjon quotes PN Leader Adrian Delia who said that this is not the time to point fingers at each other, but to unite and work closer together. L-Orizzont reports that Jean Pierre Debono renounced his co-option to parliament after two PN members filed a judicial protest in court over his election.
