The Nationalist Party said that in an attempt to cover up the Prime Minister's inability to take action against Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri, the PL is on the rampage against PN exponents.
Replying to the press conference given by Tourism Minister Edward Zammit Lewis and parliamentary secretary Deborah Schembri, the PN said the PL is lying when it says that Mario de Marco obtained a gift from Pierre Sladden. The contractor was paid his dues as all other contractors who carried out work on the property. Not one of them is saying that he has not been paid, the PN said.
The PL is lying when it says that Dr de Marco took five years to pay his dues. The bill was paid within a month, and this can be verified by the receipts and cheques.
The PL is lying when it says the bill covers work carried out in 2011. The bill covers work that was carried out over a period of time which ended in 2015.
The PN referred to the interview given to The Malta Independent on Sunday last week in which Dr de Marco gave a detailed explanation of how matters developed, while showing the journalist documents related to the case together with receipts of his payments.
The PN said the PL continues to resort to mudslinging in a bid to cover up for the Panama Papers scandal.
If the PL is so obsessed with invoices, it should publish the invoices of PM Muscat's holiday in Dubai and the invoices of the work related to his property in Burmarrad.
