In a Mother's Day special last Friday, the variety show Ser- ataron, presented by Ronald Briffa, had the Prime Minister's wife Lydia Abela as a guest. Addressing a press confer- ence on Tuesday, Nationalist MP David Thake said the con- stitutional requisite for balance was breached when Anne Marie Grech was not invited on the same show. Thake said the national broad- caster has become increasing- ly partisan, with the situation worsening under Prime Minister Robert Abela. "Similar situations must be flagged, and stopped by the station's editorial board," he said. In the protest filed by PN Sec- retary General Francis Zammit Dimech, the party said it expects the situation to be remedied. Also addressing the press con- ference, candidate Francine Far- rugia said the national broad- caster's coverage is leading to the whole truth being hidden from viewers. "It is the national broadcaster's duty to ensure that the whole picture is shown to its viewers, and not be a tool for government which is influenced by what Robert Abela and his friends want," she said. PN complains against PBS after Serataron invited Lydia Abela without Anne Marie Grech Nationalist Party says constitution was breached after Anne Marie Grech, the wife of the Opposition leader, was not invited on Friday night variety show Serataron alongside the PM's wife Lydia Abela delivering a Mother's Day message
