The Nationalist Party said today that Prime Minister Robert Abela has left educators, students and parents in the dark of what will now happen to the ministry for educationfollowing the resignation of the minister responsible.

In his interview on the Labour Party media station, Abela did not mention what steps would be taken against public officials who were also involved in the abuse which led to the minister’s resignation.

Minister Justyne Caruana resigned after the Standards Commissioner ruled that she had breached ethics when she had given a €15,000 contract to her “friend” Daniel Bogdanovic.

In its statement, the PN said that Abela is treating people poorly when he says that he has a strong team behind him.

The PN reminded the Prime Minister that he still has a Minister for Justice who was acquainted with Yorgen Fenech, who is accused of being a mastermind in the assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.

The PN added that the United States is taking steps against Keith Schembri and Konrad Mizzi, by banning them from entering the United States because of 'significant corruption'. Malta is not taking such measures, the PN said.
