MaltaToday Declares PN Appointee’s Firm Provides Software For Its Surveys

MaltaToday declared that a company co-owned by Simon Mizzi, who was recently given a job in the Nationalist Party, provides software and statistical support for its surveys.

The newspaper said that it has been making use of Mizzi Consultancy Ltd’s services for its surveys since 2017.

“Maltatoday declares in the interest of transparency to state one of the directors of the said company has recently taken on a political role with the Nationalist Party,” the statement read.

“It is important to state that the questions, interpretation and detailed analysis have always been solely carried out by Maltatoday journalists and editors and will continue to be so.”

While the statement didn’t name the person in question, publicly available information shows that Simon Mizzi is the director and co-shareholder of Mizzi Consultancy Ltd.

Mizzi was recently appointed by Alex Borg as chairperson of the PN’s new Leadership Delivery Office – an unpaid role tasked with ensuring the PN leader follows through on his promises.
