What happened in Għargħur wasn’t a fluke. It wasn’t an accident. It was a warning, a small-scale reflection of the catastrophic financial state of the Nationalist Party itself.
The unpaid €20,000 boxing event, the €95,000 in outstanding accounts, the illegal deals signed without approval, and the legal letters piling up – these are not simply local issues. They are symptoms of a deeper, systemic problem inside the PN: a culture of financial recklessness, denial, and collapse.
Under former PN mayor Helen Gauci, Għargħur was left drowning in debt, legal threats, and political arrogance. Now Mariah Meli and her Labour-led team are working day and night to clean up the mess. But this wasn’t just a mismanaged event — it was a snapshot of a party in national freefall.

Because while Għargħur is facing unpaid invoices and crumbling accountability, the Nationalist Party is sinking in over €40 million of party debt. Yes — forty million euros.
This is the same PN that wants to lecture others on economic policy. The same PN that claims it’s ready to govern. But how can a party that can’t run a local council or pay its own staff be trusted to run a country?
Għargħur Is the Micro. The PN’s €40M Debt Is the Macro.
The Għargħur disaster proves one thing: the PN’s financial chaos follows it wherever it goes — from village councils to party headquarters. Behind every press conference and every empty promise is a trail of unpaid debts, shady agreements, and reckless decisions.
Mariah Meli and the Labour team were handed a mess. But that same mess exists at every level of PN control — from Dar Ċentrali to the halls of Parliament.

The PN’s financial collapse is no longer a political talking point — it’s a national liability.
So let Għargħur serve as a warning: a PN government would mean one thing — more debt, more disorder, and more disaster. Malta cannot afford to go backwards.
