The internet chef mixed his broad bean paste with garlic, parsley, chilli flakes, salt and olive oil before he tested the mix with a plain cracker.

Robert Abela Does Not Exclude Welcoming Rosianne Cutajar Back Into Labour

Jan 11 2024

Addressing the press on Wednesday, Prime Minister Robert Abela stated that, with the same reasoning used to approach the Project Green situation, “no one, unless in extreme circumstances, should pay a perpetual price.”

Speaking about Rosianne Cutajar, Abela believes that, with regards to the actions sanctioned by the Standards Commissioner, the MP paid a hefty toll. He went on to state that he would be ‘excessively cruel’ if he does not reconsider all of the circumstances, when considering that Cutajar paid an “ultra capital price”.

Abela also stated that there are MPs within the Nationalist Party that are on the political frontlines of the upcoming election who have done “far worse” that what Cutajar did.

The PM compared his approach and reasoning to Cutajar’s relationship with the Labour Party to the decision made to appoint Joseph Cuschieri as the new head of Project Green. In that regard, Abela told the press that, “for his shortcomings, [Cuschieri] paid the price and, naturally the price, when compared to his shortcomings, should not be a perpetual one.”

In recent weeks Cutajar, a familiar face amongst the Labour Party electorate, has been at the centre of a discussion on a potential return to the Party.
