“Even if I am part of the Nationalist Party parliamentary group, I will continue to vote in Parliament according to what I think is right or wrong,” Democratic Party (PD) Leader Marlene Farrugia.

Interviewed by The Malta Independent news editor Rachel Attard on INDEPTH, she said that "if the government does something right and I will be part of the PN Parliamentary group my role will be to convince the other PN MPs to agree with the government and vice versa".

Asked if PN Leader Simon Busuttil spoke to her after her party requested to attend PN parliamentary group meetings, Farrugia said that Dr Busuttil told her “his wish is that they work together but it doesn’t depend only from me but from the other PN MPs.”

Farrugia contested the this election on the 5th and 10th district and was elected from the latter getting a total of 3,970 votes.

The entire programme will be uploaded tomorrow.
