Former Labour Minister Evarist Bartolo took to Facebook to call out the national broadcaster for not giving any coverage to two mayors’ speeches during the Xebbajtuna protest in Valletta last Saturday.
Mayor of Gżira Conrad Borg Manche and Mayor of Qala Paul Buttigieg both addressed the crowd on Saturday to a massive crowd of protestors in front of the capital city’s court.
The two spoke out against the rampant construction plaguing the island, but Bartolo slammed state media Public Broadcasting Services for not covering any of what they had to say.
‘If anyone finds (the two mayors), please inform the PBS newsroom first. The last time they were seen, both Labour Party mayors were at the national protest ‘Xebbajtuna’ last Saturday’ wrote the former Foreign Affairs Minister.
He went on to critique how PBS did not interview or even show Conrad or Paul addressing the protest.
The protest saw thousands rally in Valletta as various NGOs marched amid calls of ‘Xebbajtuna’ (we’re tired of you).
