The National Audit Office has accepted a request by the Nationalist Party to investigate the expenditure of €137 million by the Malta Film Commission on foreign organisations between September 2018 and 2023.
The Nationalist Party said that, in a reply to the PN’s request, the NAO said it will be evaluating whether the commission’s work was based on clear national and ministerial strategies. It will also analyse whether the financial plans incorporate all the principle activities carried out by the commission.
The PN said that this money could have been utilised better across other sectors, including Maltese culture, and to help Maltese talent.
