Speaking during an interview on NET Television’s Spotlight, Opposition Leader Bernard Grech said that Prime Minister Robert Abela is afraid of having a debate with him.
During the interview, Nationalist Party leader Bernard Grech said that whenever he was asked to do an interview or even a debate, he did so.
He alleged that he forms part of a thread of emails with the Prime Minister which ask for a debate.
He says that he would accept these invitations but the Prime Minister would not, leading to the aforementioned conclusion.

Grech claimed that the Prime Minister is afraid of appearing in a spot where he will lose on an issue, so he decides to appear where he has control.
The Opposition Leader says that he remains open for debate not because he loves this confrontational aspect of politics but because the people deserve to hear the ideas.
Grech also made reference to the University debate which, he says, was accepted by the Prime Minister ahead of the general election because debaters could not speak over each other and everything was timed – even hinting at the crowd’s response as yet another sign of the prime minister’s control in the situation.
He concluded by saying that the Prime Minister wants to come off as not afraid but is in reality very afraid to face the opposition.
What do you make of this?
