Comments (7) Share latest comment from Peter Schmmitt, 13/05/2024 04:46: The PM that was placed in his role by JM is simply trying to scale down and derail this whole procedure. Why is he pretending and behaving so calmly in front of the media, when his government is in such instability. Attacking journalists and judiciary, making false accusations and blaming everyone and everything under the sun, apart from his corrupt colleagues. Why is his country not first and foremost? Something is unclear here. He should be taking the necessary action as all other heads of states would react in the western world. Why is he thinking he can manipulate our rule of law? Voters that trusted PL want answers and all taxpayers want answers too. Where did our 400 million end up Mr. PM? Surely you must know since you've chosen to take your party's side rather than the correct side of all Maltese taxpayers that have been robbed.by PL. You expect our votes, we expect the truth.

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.

Comments (4) Share latest comment from John Vincent, 11/05/2024 17:41: "Abela said that local councils are there to implement the government’s proposals for the different communities." I beg to strongly disagree. Local Councils are there to submit the resident's proposals for the community and to ask that the Government, with the help of the LC as far as practicable and possible, implements them for the benefit of the locality. It is the government and local councils who are there to serve the community which elects them, not the other way round. All politicians should get this reasoning firmly embedded in the area just above their deaf ears and not transpose roles! New Comment Reply Click to rate 1 0
