‘Busuttil won my respect when he contested the deputy leader election' – Ryan Callus
PN’s youngest MP states that Simon Busuttil’s European record was a showcase of his leadership skills.
PN's Ryan Callus stated that Simon Busuttil started showing his leadership skills with the positive results achieved in the EP elections in 2004 and 2009.
Callus is currently the youngest MP on the Opposition side, and was possibly one ofs the greatest surprise of the last general election.
In an interview with Sunday newspaper Illum, Callus said he could not admire him more when Busuttil decided to contest the deputy leader election, just weeks away before 'an evident PN loss'.
When questioned about the PN's analysis of the loss, Ryan Callus said that on the whole he agreed with the report. "However I did not agree the Labour Party won over the loyal Mintoff supporters when he died. He won them over a couple of years earlier, when the ex-Prime Minister visited Labour's headquarters."
