Commenting on the Nationalist Party's reaction to their MP's Toni Bezzina's ODZ villa planning application, AD Deputy Chairperson Carmel Cacopardo said:"Toni Bezzina ought to resign or be removed from PN spokesperson on Agriculture".
"The Honourable Toni Bezzina applied for a development permit to further develop existing rooms in an ODZ zone, increasing the development in such a way as to end up with his own ODZ villa (PA7854/16). This casts doubt on how much Toni Bezzina, one of the authors of the recently published PN environmental document, actually believes in the content and declarations in this document."
"The Leader of his party is making a political error of judgement when he declared that Bezzina is not in the wrong. What is the value of policy declarations if those promising to implement their policy proposals do not even pause to think before going against those same proposals? Is the PN leader saying that his party's policy declarations are not worth the paper they are printed on?", concluded Cacopardo
