Simon Busuttil’s comments ‘disappoint’ Labour
PN deputy leader against Opposition MPs involved in executive roles offered by government.
The Labour Party declared its disappointment at Simon Busuttil's reaction to a proposal to involve Opposition MPs in executive roles.
In comments to members of the press today, the PN deputy leader said he didn't agree with the Prime Minister's proposal for Nationalist MPs to occupy roles on boards and other entities.
Yet, Busuttil wants to build a strong and constructive opposition.
"The Prime Minister wants to involve everyone in the leadership of this country, including members of the opposition without letting political barriers come in the way, in the national interest," the PL said in a statement.
According to Labour, Busuttil's "negative declaration" showed that a PN in government would "adopt negative politics of the past, politics of them and us".
