The Nationalist Party has given former MP Jason Azzopardi 24 hours to substantiate allegations he made that someone donated money to the Opposition in return for a presidential pardon for a relative.
A PN statement said that following an urgent meeting sparked by the allegations, the party’s administrative council agreed on the ultimatum following a request by Bernard Grech.
Azzopardi has been summoned to the PN Commission for Ethics, Discipline and Social Media, but no consequences were specified. The allegations by the former outspoken PN MP came after Grech said that all politicians have an expiry date when asked about Azzoaprdi’s non-election in 2022.
In response, Azzopardi took to Facebook to state how inventing expiry dates is easy and went on to rhetorically ask; ‘Could it be that I was an obstacle to those who gave money as a donation so that their relative could receive a pardon in 2021?’
