Alfred Sant slams MEP’s vote against Leo Brincat

Labour MEP and former Prime Minister Alfred Sant has slammed the vote by Nationalist MEP’s against Leo Brincat, accusing the PN of having broken a golden rule for Maltese MEPs not to vote against the national interest.

The three Nationalist MEP’s voted against the nomination  of Leo Brincat to the European Court of Auditors.

Alfred Sant said, “Up to now, within the European Parliament, the arrangement has always been observed by both sides to maintain support for nominations involving Maltese individuals, as is proper.

“Other delegations do the same, in a manifestation of national unity. Given our minute size, the split that has been put on display shows us in the worst possible light.”
