Following the resignation of BA chairperson Tanya Borg Cardona yesterday, the Broadcasting Authority board members will now be reviewing the decision to relocate to Valletta.

Sources within the UHM Voice of the Workers, the Union heading the industrial action which led to the resignation of Borg Cardona, said that the union will be pressuring  the competent authorities to carry out the certification for the new premises in Valletta to confirm if theMelita Street property is adequate for the employees or not.

News that the BA will be moving into new premises in Melita Street, Valletta, was announced last January. However BA staff told this newsroom that they were informed by management to start packing up as they were going to new premises last June.

The property in Hamrun which is currently owned by the authority will instead be taken up by Chris Cardona's Economy Ministry. The move has been described as convenient for Dr Cardona, who is a PL Deputy Leader, for it will move his workplace next door to his party's headquarters.

However, should the competent authorities establish that the place in Valletta is not good to serve as a base for the Broadcasting Authority,Minister Chris Cardona’s relocation plans might be disrupted.
