[WATCH] Minister doesn’t want to answer Net News reporter’s questions

Transport Minister gave the press some visual fodder after refusing to entertain questions from a Net News journalist.

Mizzi answered questions put to him by both The Times and PBS, but refused to go into detail to questions put to him by the journalist from the PN's television station, who claimed he was being discriminated against.

Mizzi demanded that the journalist put to him his questions in writing, so that he could give him a written reply. A spokesperson pointed out to MaltaToday that the minister "did not refuse to answer questions but invited Net News to send in their questions via e-mail instead as they would likely 'distort the truth as they always do'. He repeatedly asked if there were anymore questions to be asked before walking out."

In a statement, the PN deplored the “traffic minister’s actions who launched himself in a tirade against journalists”.

Media.Link communications has failed a complaint with the Institute of Maltese Journalists.

The PN said Mizzi should start working on the traffic chaos on the island instead of attacking journalists.
