The sudden resignation of Bernard Grech has plunged the Nationalist Party into a new chapter of internal chaos and strategic paralysis. Yet from the outside, the party’s official channels remain eerily calm, silent even, as if nothing has happened. No press conferences. No formal statements. No roadmap.
Bernard Grech
This total lack of communication is no accident.
It reflects a party caught in uncertainty—waiting nervously on Roberta Metsola, Europe’s ‘Empress of Battles’, to either confirm or deny her interest in the top job.
Roberta Metsola
Business as Usual? Or Panic Behind Closed Doors?
Despite the enormity of the situation, PN media and spokespersons have maintained a baffling silence. Rather than lead with clarity during this moment of crisis, the party’s communications wing has instead pretended all is normal.
But insiders paint a different picture:
💬 “There were direct approaches made to Metsola, urging her to come forward. Nothing definitive has been communicated back,” one senior PN figure revealed to this site.
As the PN clings to the hope that Metsola will accept the leadership role, all other political activity has effectively been put on pause. The internal message is clear: Wait for Roberta. Hope for a saviour.
A Party That Won’t Talk… Because It Has Nothing to Say
In a functioning party, a leader’s resignation would trigger immediate communication with members, councillors, and the electorate. But in today’s PN, no one seems to be steering the ship. This dangerous vacuum risks alienating the party’s base even further, just as the PL gears up for a potential snap election.
What If Metsola Says No?
The question haunting the PN is this: What happens if Roberta Metsola says no?
With no alternative leadership strategy and no plan B, the party faces the terrifying prospect of an open civil war and another catastrophic electoral defeat.
This is not just a crisis of leadership. It is a crisis of structure, vision, and nerve.
Conclusion: Silence Has Become the PN’s Loudest Statement
In politics, silence often means fear. And the PN’s current silence screams of anxiety, confusion, and desperation. If the party continues down this path—silent, divided, and rudderless—then Metsola’s decision may come too late to save what little is left.
