Edward Scicluna allowed several scandals and made incompetent decisions during his tenure as Finance Minister that made him unfit to be appointed the Governor of the Central Bank, the Nationalist Party has said.
In a press conference held in front of Parliament on Saturday, PN MPs Adrian Delia, Mario Demarco and Karol Aquilina said that the party would be opposing his nomination in parliament.
Scicluna s quick nomination to serve as Central Bank governor was part of the Labour Party’s “revolving door politics”.

Scicluna was nominated by the government in November to replace outgoing Central Bank governor Mario Vella, at a time when he was still the country s serving Finance Minister.
