No More Mr Nice Guy: Bernard Grech Pledges To Crack Whip On Those Who ‘Cause Harm’ To PN On Social Media
Opposition Leader Bernard Grech has warned PN activists that he won’t tolerate people whose social media posts and comments “cause harm” to the party and that he is ready to impose disciplinary measures.
Interviewed on NET last night, Grech said that constant uncertainty over the date of the general election throughout his one and a half years in charge of the PN disallowed him from taking certain decisions and implementing certain changes.
“However, we now have an opportunity to establish clear and fixed timeframes, flex our muscles and take decisions and implement changes that perhaps I couldn’t implement as a result of the unclear election timeframe,” he said.
“I urge people to help the PN, get involved, argue internally if needs be, and move forward together. Those who only do this on social media just intend to cause harm and if we want the PN to get stronger, acting like this is no longer acceptable and there will be discipline where needed.”

“It can’t be that some people think they can say and do whatever they please and that things will move forward. Things don’t move forward with insults and people doing what they please but by us working together. This humility must lead us to stronger work toward the party and country.”
Grech has refused to step down in the wake of the PN’s trashing at the general election, with the party yesterday kickstarting an internal process to determine whether he will remain leader or not.
He said more people approached the PN to offer their services for the first time in the two weeks following the election result than they did during the last two weeks of the election campaign.
“There is new energy and attitudes, which fills me with even more courage and determination to work and open the PN’s doors further to genuine people. I will support everyone who wants to work towards a common goal.”
Do you think Bernard Grech should remain PN leader?
