latest comment from RF, 05/05/2024 11:56: Duping the voters with €60 but not explaining who is benefiting from the increasing deficit of billions. Can guess from the known €400 million to Vitals and other millions to Electrogas defrauded by Muscat and inner circle including Abela hinself.

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?

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.

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.
