The absence of a donation report makes it impossible to know whether the PN received any donations above €7,000 that would require the identi- fication of the donor. The law obliges political parties to pub- licly identify donors who do- nate €7,000 and more. Information sourced from the public domain by MaltaToday shows that the PN organised six fund raising telethons between March and December 2024. It collected €1.6 million from these events, almost €200,000 more than the Labour Party. Political parties are obliged to file their statement of accounts and donation reports with the Electoral Commission every year. These documents are then published on the commission's website after vetting. Neither the PN's donation report, nor its statement of ac- counts are available for 2024. Indeed, the last time the PN published its donation report was in 2021 and the last state- ment of accounts goes back to 2020. The party has been in breach of the law ever since. A PN spokesperson reiter- ated what the party has been saying for months, when asked by MaltaToday whether the accounts and donation reports will be published: "These are presently being worked on and will be submitted once com- pleted." No timeline for com- pletion was given. Meanwhile, the Labour Party has so far published its dona- tion report for 2024 but still has to file the statement of ac- counts. The PL has always pub- lished both reports in previous years. The donation report for 2024, shows that the PL received €1.4 million in donations from 30,724 donors. The party only reported one donation exceeding €7,000, which requires publication of the donor's name. This was a €10,000 donation made by Iracil Ltd, a company owned by John Licari, that has its regis- tered office in Bormla. The PL received €615,000 in donations, each not exceed- ing €500, from 30,371 donors between May and December 2024. There is no obligation to keep a record of names for such donations. The report also shows that the PL received €820,000 in do- nations, each being more than €500 but not exceeding €7,000, from 352 donors. The party is obliged to keep a record of who is making donations within this range but is not obliged to pub- lish their names. Overall, the PL received €1.4 million last year from almost Labour had 31,000 donors Neither the PN's donation report, nor its statement of accounts are available for 2024.
