Comments (1) Share latest comment from Antoine Vella, 12/06/2024 00:57: So, let me take at face value Daniel Micallef's version that he had long planned to leave after the elections. He must have been in a real hurry to go, even before the Local Council votes have been counted. After waiting two years, was it too much to wait a few weeks more? Because, I don't know if Micallef realises it, but his obvious hastiness looks very bad and doesn't seem at all planned. It's a PR embarrassment for the PL and for Robert Abela in person.

Comments (6) Share latest comment from mario mifsud, 11/06/2024 20:22: Joseph Muscat's movement was built on deception and the exaggerated majorities obtained over more than a decade that silenced ministers and Labor parliamentarians from expressing themselves critically. Now that the sense of invincibility is disappearing and political responsibility and related crime is being prosecuted, the laws can be respected. A vote of no confidence in Robert Abela should be preseted to the General Conference of the Labour Party for discussion and approval, in view of Abela's repeated support of the former disgraced leader Joseph Muscat.
