PN says Prime Minister willing to meet Moviment Iva
Representatives of the pro-divorce lobby today complained of not having been granted a meeting with the prime minister.
The Nationalist Party has said a request made by pro divorce lobby Moviment Iva on 15 November to meet the Prime Minister could not be acceded to until the PN's internal discussion on its stand on divorce was completed.
"We informed Moviment Iva that the PN leader would meet after the party concludes its discussion," the PN said in a statement today after Iva complained of not having been granted a meeting.
"Although there was no request after the PN's meetings, the party has confirmed the prime minister's availability to meet Moviment Iva," the PN said.
In a statement toda, the Moviment Iva said they had asked to meet the Prime Minister as far back as last November 15.
“We were told that the Prime Minister could not see us because it would be opportune to wait for the conclusion of the parliamentary debate, which has long been concluded,” the movement said, adding that since then no reply had been forthcoming.
The pro-divorce movement stressed that it saw no reason for the Prime Minister not to agree to a meeting with them. The movement expressed its disappointment however, at the fact that while the Prime Minister has seemingly ignored the request to meet them, the Prime Minister found time to meet with the anti-divorce movement.
