PN Wants To Rule Country From Opposition, Says Prime Minister

Responding to journalist questions after the submission of the Labour and Nationalist Party’s respective submissions in the court case concerning Vitals-Steward, Robert Abela said that the submissions show that the Nationalist Party want to run the country from the opposition.

The government’s lawyer said in court that the case filed by the Opposition is ‘legally surreal’ and can take away powers entrusted to the government.

On the Nationalist Party’s side, lawyer Edward DeBono said that the government is attempting to prevent the State Advocate from taking action on the scandal.

In comments, Prime Minister Abela said the submission by the Opposition shows that the party has ‘given up on running this country’ and that, knowing that with no public support, they intend to take away government powers.

Abela said that the Opposition does not believe in the principle of democracy by attempting to run the country whilst still not in government.
