Stalwart Jason Azzopardi resigns from PN

Former MP Jason Azzopardi in parliament

Former Nationalist Party MP Jason Azzopardi has resigned from the PN in an apparent running battle with party leader Bernard Grech.

After failing to get re-elected in last month’s general election, Jason Azzopardi’s political career was described by Bernard Grech as having “expired”.

That in turn led to Azzopardi alleging the Bernard Grech had met with people close to Yorgen Fenech in 2021 for a business lunch.

Bernard Grech then gave Jason Azzopardi an ultimatum, produce evidence to back up such claims or face an internal party inquiry. Jason Azzopardi then announced he was quitting the PN.
