The Nationalist Party will be making its position on the revised Individual Investment Programme public tomorrow evening.
In a statement, the PN said that a meeting of the parliamentary group will be held on Wednesday afternoon, during which Legal Notice 47 of 2014 - under which the IIP is regulated - will be analysed and discussed.
The PN wants to ensure that the notice reflects what has been agreed between the government and the European Commission. In fact, the legal notice replicates a statement issued by the European Commission last week.
Choosing to reserve its judgement until the legal notice is published, the PN said this was the third time that government had to change its programme.
Contacted by MaltaToday for a comment, Opposition spokesperson for home affairs Jason Azzopardi declined to comment on the matter.
"It took the government almost one week to publish the new legal notice. I hope that no one expects the PN to reply in just a few hours," he said. "After tomorrow's meeting, during which we will discuss this third amendment, I will gladly comment."

As if anybody now gives a hoot about what the PN says! Sorry Jason but your plot backfired!
•
Why should the party, led by an ameteur, stop shooting in their feet now? Carry on at least till next May. Hope that they are not doing it purposely to have a similar result as that of last March, so they will have the excuse to change the leader. Our country deserves much better

Honestly,who cares !!!

Who cares Jason dear, you the bright boys of Malta and the GRANDEST AR77SE LICKERS OF EUROPE,have missed the bus because the Prime Minister Dr. Joseph Muscat, is simply too strong for your political antics. Let us see you pick the pieces of the so called Nationalist Party, the party of arrogance,...and may you answer the people`s question....WHO GAVE YOU SUCH A STUPID ADVICE, THAT IS A CONTINUOUS RIDICULE TO sIMON

Is the PN going to be influenced by the appeal made today by one of its leading candidates, Gejtu Vella, who insisted that the Citizenship scheme should be stopped and "... the Nationalist Party would do well to hold strong on the basic principles against the scheme as promoted by Government." or by that of two of its MEP candidates Plumpton and Ellul, who think otherwise?
