Labour MP Charles Mangion yesterday raised a breach-of-privilege complaint against the Nationalist Sunday newspaper Il-Mument and against NET News, which he said had made unfounded and slanderous allegations against him in the newspaper published last Sunday and the news bulletin of Friday, March 12.

Dr Mangion claimed that the newspaper and news bulletin had tried to imply that he had sought to incite someone to attack GRTU Director-General Vince Farrugia. Dr Mangion said that in his whole parliamentary career he had never insulted anyone, adding that these allegations were unacceptable.

Acting Speaker Carmelo Abela replied that the Chair would rule in another sitting.
