The fact that the Nationalist Party has financial problems confirms how it has never stolen land and buildings from the public or private sectors, unlike the Labour Party, the PN has alleged.

"It is outrageous to see how the Prime Minister Joseph Muscat describes how the PL stole a large number of properties," the PN added.

"Through the Party Financing Bill that Dr Muscat wants, a level playing field will not be created as the Labour Party will have public and private buildings being used as Labour Party clubs. Prior to the enactment of the law, the PL must return these buildings to their original owners".
