Emails between Muscat and RTK journalist sent to private households
The Labour Party has accused the PN of sending the anonymous letters, but the Nationalist Party’s secretary general categorically denies the allegations.
MaltaToday has received various reports that the leaked email correspondence between Labour Party leader Joseph Muscat and former RTK journalist Sabrina Agius is being sent to numerous households.
The correspondence is being sent by post in brown envelopes and the address is typed out.
Contacted by MaltaToday, Agius was surprised to hear about the distribution of the letters and added that whoever was behind it "has a sick mind".
Reacting to the mail shot, the Labour Party described it as "a cowardly act from the Nationalist Party, which has embarked on the biggest ever anonymous mail shot."
It added the PN "cannot win on the arguments, so they resort to predictable scare tactics".
But the Nationalist Party categorically denied any link with the incident.
"We came clean with the correspondence when the head of our news published the emails. Even so, we have no interest in sending anonymous letters, something which we heavily condemn," PN secretary-general Paul Borg Olivier told MaltaToday.
Borg Olivier added that the email correspondence is already in the public domain while highlighting that the posting of anonymous letters is condemnable, whatever their content.
