Tal-Bebbux area in Żurrieq is ‘government property’ and will be used as necessary - ministry

The area known as Tal-Bebbux in Żurrieq is government property and will only be used for projects for social benefit and the needs of the Żurrieq community, the government said on...

latest comment from S. Camilleri, 10/05/2024 12:26: It is not "government" property; it is public property and the government is only its custodian. And stop citing the 2006 law to justify your own destructive decisions.

Muscat endangering magistrate, judges involved in Vitals case – Repubblika

With his words, Joseph Muscat – accused of corruption, fraud and money laundering – is endangering the magistrate who investigated him in the inquiry and the judiciary before whom he is...

latest comment from M.Grima, 10/05/2024 13:08: So according to Repubblika Muscat should stay put and say and do nothing notwithstanding that he is being charged with criminal activity. This NGO couldn’t be more ridiculous because in a democracy this is called freedom of expression. The magistrate in question wanted to be in the spotlight instead of recusing herself after members of her immediate family commented on social media against Joseph Muscat. Now Repubblika who are acting and judge, jury and executioners are implying that she is some sort of victim whilst Joseph Muscat is th bead guy.

They make me look like Toto Riina – Joseph Muscat

Judge grants Joseph Muscat partial access to Vitals inquiry

A judge has granted Joseph Muscat, with immediate effect, partial access to the magisterial inquiry into the Vitals hospital deal, but rejected the disgraced former Prime Minister’s request to...

latest comment from Santana, 09/05/2024 19:46: So, now, the accused has access to the inquiry's process verbal and just about everybody else does not. Brilliant ! FAQ: The aggrieved, in this case, is the nation. Why are the nation, their representatives, NGOs, professional bodies and civil action groups, being kept in the dark? Because Robert Abela does not think it is in his, and the PL's electoral campaign's interest to do so, that's why. Anything for a vote!

latest comment from Vani, 10/05/2024 09:41: First you attack the judiciary, than you want it to be "fair"! So I ask: Was Abela "fair" with the Magistrate? Was Muscat "fair" with the Magistrate? Was Crappy One "fair" with the Magistrate? Were you hired trolls "fair" with the Magistrate? The answer is a resounding NO And we all know what you mean by "fair", the complete exoneration of Muscat and the 40 thieves!

Turning back the clock on 2006 rationalisation exercise would be an injustice – Abela

Turning back the clock on the 2006 rationalisation exercise would "create instability in the market and would be an injustice," Prime Minister Robert Abela said on Thursday, but spoke of balancing it...

latest comment from Joe Mallia, 10/05/2024 07:22: The PM has no political will to protect the natural environment of these islands. There is a legal way to reverse the rationalisation plan which has destroyed acres of our countryside but the PM keeps bringing all types of excuses to justify this environmental crime. In addition, the revision of the rural policies which are full of loopholes that are permitting the ongoing destruction of our countryside, has been intentionally halted for the benefit of the few developers close to the PM.
