Watch: PN Candidate Thanks Robert Abela For €100 Cheque: ‘I Am Donating It To The Party’
After receiving her €100 stimulus cheque in the mail, new PN candidate jokingly thanked Prime Minister Robert Abela and Finance Minister Clyde Caruana.
“I thank Robert Abela and Clyde Caruana, who signed this cheque personally, because I am going to exchange it and donate the money to the PN during a fundraising marathon on Saturday,” Eve Borg Bonello said as she urged others to do likewise.
“The PN needs your help so we can continue our electoral campaign and fulfilling our vision for Malta 2030.”
The 18-year-old candidate went on to quote former PN Prime Minister Eddie Fenech Adami to describe the cheque scheme, which is seeing all workers and students receive €100 and all pensioners and people on social benefits receive €200 a few days before the general election.
They are intended to help households cope with the inflation of basic items in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, it has been heavily criticised as a way for the Labour Party to make significant political mileage from literally putting money into everyone’s pockets a few days before the general election.
