Adrian Delia and Chris Said, so far the only two candidates who have publicly expressed their intention to contest for the Nationalist Party leadership, have both agreed with a suggestion made by a PN journalist for the setting up of an internal commission to scrutinise all candidates.
Writing on Facebook, veteran journalist Dione Borg said that the commission suggested that the PN sets up a commission to "ensure the best possible political standards".
This commission, he added, should focus on the candidates with an emphasis on their professional background, their assets and other aspects. "We must understand that the PN councillors will be choosing two candidates one of whom is potentially a future prime minister."
Reacting, Delia said he was "completely behind Dione's suggestion "which as he would remember I had provoked, promoted and insisted be applied at all levels for anyone occupying a senior role in the football world both at club and administration level – indeed in politics it should not only be the party leader but every candidate wishing to serve our people".
Speaking to Malta Today, Said also endorsed the proposal, saying that the outgoing leader always emphasised on being honest in politics. "These are the principles that Simon Busuttil, like all his predecessors, wove into the very fabric of the party's beliefs," the former Gozo minister said, adding that these principles were the foundation of the party, without which the PN and the country's democracy would collapse.
