'I was not allowed to work within the PN' - Castaldi Paris
Lija mayor Ian Castaldi Paris sheds light on his resignation as President of the Nationalist Party’s College of Councillors.
Lija mayor Ian Castaldi Paris had initially cited personal reasons for resigning from the post of president of the PN's college of councillors.
“I was not fired from the Party. There are rumours going round that I had disagreements with the Prime Minister but this has nothing to do with him,” said Castaldi Paris.
Castaldi Paris claims to have been put in a position where he was not allowed to work on his own initiative. “This has been long coming and I had already resigned a year ago and believed changes would be made so I could work as planned. I tried but all I encountered were closed doors,” said Castaldi Paris.
He insisted that he never wanted to be president of the councillors' college simply for the post, but wanted the responsibility to work and bring about changes.
