Comments (1) Share latest comment from KLAUS, 26/09/2026 16:16: For years, this Prime Minister has failed to strengthen the rule of law while doing far more to protect powerful interests than the public interest. Why should anyone expect decency now? He confidently declares what must never happen, only to contradict himself the next day. At this point, the surprise is not that he breaks his word, but that anyone still expects him to keep it. Now not only some Maltese are beginning to wonder whether history should judge him the same way it judged Joseph Muscat. New Comment Reply Click to rate 0 0

He could not have foreseen that he would not be at PA when also doing private business on the side. In a decent country both the Prime Minister and the CEO would resign or be booted out if they do not understand conflict of interest. New Comment Reply Click to rate 0 0

Comments (1) Share latest comment from KLAUS, 26/09/2026 16:30: Before unveiling another grand vision, Finance Minister Clyde Caruana must explain why last year’s promises were never delivered. We, the Taxpayers, deserve answers and not polished distractions. Malta’s failed energy policy has left critical infrastructure vulnerable and the public paying the price. Where did our money go, and who is responsible? Robert Abela Without urgent action, last summer’s blackouts could return. Rhetoric will not keep the lights on. Malta needs accountability, investment, results and not another political performance. Caruana may look impressive carrying his trademark red attaché case from one photo opportunity to the next, but a prop is not a policy and publicity is not progress. If public money has been wasted, mismanaged, or diverted from critical infrastructure, those responsible should be identified and held accountable. We, the Maltese people, deserve more than a showman with a red attaché case and we just deserve positive results. New Comment Reply Click to rate 0 0
