Michael Vella Haber, the managing director of One Productions, is on long leave but the Labour Party has denied the decision was fuelled by a clash with company chairman Jason Micallef.

Describing Dr Vella Haber's decision to go on long leave as an "internal operational company matter", a party spokesman denied a report in yesterday's In-Nazzjon claiming that Dr Vella Haber had clashed with Mr Micallef.

The dentist's sabbatical from the PL's media house was not the only spat of turbulence to hit the station of late.

Evelyn Zammit La Rosa, the face of mobile telephony arm Red Touch Fone, has also ended her stay at One Productions.

The party spokesman confirmed that Ms Zammit La Rosa resigned from her job and insisted that the "company did not feel it opportune to comment on private individuals" when asked whether her resignation was also linked to Dr Vella Haber's decision.
