Government to continue investing in Gozo – PM

The Labour government will continue to invest in Gozo, as it has done in the past 11 years, Prime Minister Robert Abela said on Saturday. Speaking in Xewkija, he said that the Nationalist...

latest comment from RF, 05/05/2024 04:59: How about the many Gozitans "employed" by the self-serving Gozitan ministers who do not give a day's work as they have their own private work? No wonder there appears to be no unemployment in Gozo. Votes more important than good governance for incompetent Abela. Which industries set up in Gozo despite incentives?

‘No magistrate will tell me if I should accept a resignation or not,’ PM says on Fearne speculation

Prime Minister Robert Abela said that it will be his own discretion, and not that of any magistrate or inquiry, on whether to accept any resignations from government officials and...

latest comment from av, 04/05/2024 11:06: Of course the Court can't . But when instead of distancing you protect and embrace people who are being investigated, you are making the whole party assume all responsibility of their deeds. If the party protects them it means that the party is guilty by association.

Prime Minister inaugurates €16 million concert zone in Ta’ Qali national park

latest comment from RF, 04/05/2024 11:19: Did Abela say by how much this project overran the budget and the deadline? Very timely occasion to try to distract us from the more important Vitals inquiry that has exposed a corrupt and disgraced prime minister and his ministers and their hangerson with money laundering and dereliction of duty.

latest comment from Observer, 04/05/2024 12:15: I would imagine that by now (this being Malta), the text of the whole report would have spead to the four winds, like the reeds whispering about Midas's donkey's ears. The Hon PM would have his work cut out when people know what (not the frankly irrelevant when) the report says.

Anyone mentioned in Vitals inquiry should quit, PN says; PL replies

latest comment from Cilia Debono Emanuel, 04/05/2024 12:42: The PL 's reference to 'the establishment ' is vague. Maybe they refer to conservative elements . The threat to democracy at present comes from people that show lack of respect for the rule of law and for the independence of the judiciary , irrespective of what side of the political spectrum they represent. Recent utterances by the PM ( the top Labour spokesman at present) are dangerous and regressive.
