Mario De Marco Wants PN To Move Out Of Dar Ċentrali And Privatise NET

PN MP and former deputy leader Mario de Marco has urged the incoming PN leader to make some radical changes to the party.

In a Times article, De Marco said that the new leader should relocate the PN leadership and HQ from Dar Ċentrali to the AŻAD building in Valletta.

He also proposed that the leader privatise NET TV, keeping only limited airtime for political programmes.

De Marco said that part of the savings from privatising NET should be invested in modern outreach technology “with both pull and push features – ensuring that information and ideas flow efficiently and effectively in and out of the party.”

He also proposed a reorganisation of the party’s grassroots network, based on technology rather than każini.

“These actions would send a clear message that the PN is not afraid of change, will address its financial issues directly, and is committed to becoming a people’s party once again,” he said.

“Empty palaces make hollow sounds. We cannot build a party for the future around a nostalgia for the past. Times have changed. Realities have changed. And change we must if we want to even exist.”
