Does Jason Azzopardi pay for his reserved parking in Sliema?

Following yesterday’s article, where I asked Jason Azzopardi if it is true that he has reserved parking at the Strand in Sliema, I received the following message from a reader.

That is where I normally park when I go to Sliema. When I was there last Wednesday, I was told I could not park there. The bays were now marked reserved and remained empty right through the time I was there. Who the hell does he think he is? I pay 4 euro whenever I go, irrespective of the length of time and I don’t mind because at least I do not have to go into an underground park at the Point because I fear underground parking altogether wherever they are available. Otherwise, I simply don’t go and turn back home.

But is Jason Azzopardi paying and if so how much? Or is he a privileged citizen being an MP does not have to pay?
