latest comment from Memphis Belle, 06/06/2026 11:10: Look corruption is abstract subject and it is not easy to investigates and obtain the neccessary proof but what is of great concern here in Malta is when corruption is uncovered and brought infront of justice nothing will happen a great perfect example is the biggest Enemalta oil scandal that happened under Gonzi PN while many Republica members were active in governament,15 years on since it has been uncovered all the culprits involved are still running free as a bird with our courts do nothing to concludes the case..Is it a case that our justice system and the courts are rotten from their core and only take action when certain people of interest like JM,CF,ES etc etc are accused by a magistrate of corruption ???

TMID Editorial: Blaming third party voters for PN’s defeat is not just wrong, it’s undemocratic

A sect of PN supporters – not party officials, to be clear – has made an argument that the people to blame for the party’s defeat are those almost 11,000 people who elected to vote...

latest comment from Verita', 06/06/2026 16:21: A sect of PN supporters has made an argument that the people to blame for the party’s defeat are those almost 11,000 people who elected to vote for smaller parties. The supporters (not PN party officials) are 100% wrong for several reasons. 1. If the 11000 voted for third parties and decided to vote for PN, the PL would have still won not with 22000 but with 11000. 2. Those 11000 that voted for third parties are not all PN. PL supporters decided also not to vote PL. 3. Those that were PN supporters ( certain famous) voted for PL. And many PL decided not to vote. So, as the MALTA INDEPENDENT editorial declares, PN supporters ( I repeat not officials of the PN) to attack those that voted for third parties are 100% UNDEMOCRATIC.
