The Nationalist Party has protested to PBS after it was not invited to send a representative for a discussion on the citizenship scheme, and will be referring the matter to the Broadcasting Authority.

The action of PBS was abusive and illegal, the PN said.

PBS explained it had decided to hold the discussion on the European Parliament debate over two days – with a panel which did not include politicians on the first day and with politicians on the second.

Still, the PN’s position had been represented with interviews with Nationalist MEPs and today both political parties will be represented, PBS said.
