PN denounces Muscat’s ‘political immaturity’ over tourism strategy
‘Shocking’ insensitivity and lack of political maturity from Joseph Muscat, PN says in statement over Opposition leader’s ‘idea’ to bring tourism over from troubled Egypt.
The Nationalist party has decried a statement by Labour leader Joseph Muscat on Sunday, that called for the capitalization over popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt by attracting more tourists over to Malta.
“As an EU member state that embraces the values of democracy, liberty and respect of human rights, we should not be trying to capitalize over the troubles of others,” the PN said in a statement.
The PN said that it was “shocking” that Muscat chose not to apologise for his statement when asked by the media. “Muscat wants to be prime minister but he comes across as even more immature and presumptuous.”
