Marthese Portelli calls for district-by-district report
Opposition MP Marhese Portelli satisfied with PN electoral defeat report, calls for separate report on party’s performance in each district.
The report analysing the PN's electoral defeat was a "good" exercise, however it should be complimented with a separate report focusing on the party's performance at a local and district level, former PN executive council president Marthese Portelli said.
Speaking to Sunday newspaper Illum, Portelli said that the report reflected the thoughts and perceptions of the persons who got in touch with the commission who authored the report.
Asked why PN leader Simon Busuttil was omitted from the report, Portelli said that although some persons might have attributed the defeat to Busuttil, he must have been omitted because the number of mentions did not reach the commission's threshold for the factors listed in the report.
"Therefore it is pretty clear that Simon Busuttil was not one of the factors which led to the PN's defeat," Portelli said.
