Labour switched leaders but remained on the wrong course, PN leader says Labour MPs are finding out that having Robert Abela as their leader instead of Joseph Mucsat has not led them away from the party’s wrongdoing, Nationalist Party leader Bernard Grech said... Comments (1) Share latest comment from Glen Walker, 11/05/2024 16:45: Switched leaders is putting this mildly. JM stitched Fearne from his 65% majority and placed his lawyer by manipulating the executive voters 3 days before. Why did JM panic and not want Fearne (his deputy) to replace him? Only then, to make him sign the Vitals contract as negotiated by KM and ordered its signing within hours. Doing so with the knowledge that they were robbing us, effective 3 days after we gave them our vote of trust. So E-Grant fabricated, Vitals and Stewart are the fault of 'the establishment', our journalists are part of the same est, now even our PM is trying to save his arse to the detriment of our Nation's reputation. Its time our PM defends us and our home and harmony. If the timing of the report was issued before an election, it was done in Malta's interest. The electorate have the fundamental right of knowing whether to trust a politician facing criminal charges beforehand and not find out after they voted, without any prior knowledge. So Mr. PM, let the judiciary do its job and if the magisterial inquiry has suspicions of criminal behavior, I'm sure there shows enough evidence to act according to the rule of law, which you yourself lived, enjoyed and must abide by also.
