PN General Secretary Paul Borg Olivier has dissociated himself from a link to a blog by Daphne Caruana Galizia which featured on his Facebook wall, according to Nationalist MP Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando. The blog is highly critical of Dr Pullicino Orlando.

When contacted, Dr Pullicino Orlando said he had spoken to Dr Borg Olivier soon after the link appeared, and the PN secretary had said he dissociated himself with the contents of the blog. That being the case, Dr Pullicino Orlando said that while this matter was troubling, he did not wish to comment further.

The link was removed shorly after 10 a.m. It had first appeared shortly after midnight.

The blog was entitled 'Stick to botoxing buttocks, Jeffrey, because you're a lousy politician.'

In a statement, Dr Borg Olivier said:

"A recommended link to a blog written by Daphne Caruana Galizia with reference to Nationalist MP Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando appeared on my facebook page. It is not known how this link came onto my wall as I did not share the link myself. I removed it immediately when this was brought to my attention. I do not agree with the opinion as expressed in the Blog."

Four years ago Dr Borg Olivier found himself in controversy when an e-mail which he meant to send to then Parliamentary Secretary Jason Azzopardi was sent to then PL General Secretary Jason Micallef by mistake.
