He first started off by stating that it is not only the Labour Party that is in a crisis but it is the whole country of Malta that is.

He then went on to say that Chris Fearne’s decision to resign shows that he is acting like a true man and is showing that there are people in the Labour Party and according to him a lot that understand the grave situation the party and country are in right now.

Cassola also compared Chris Fearne’s decision to resign with that of Edward Scicluna who despite being allegedly criminally charges has not yet resigned from his role of Governor of the Central Bank of Malta.

The former AD leader will be hoping for a positive result next June in the MEP elections amidst all the recent political turmoil.

Roberta Metsola States That "We Have Serious Issues to Deal With."
May 10 2024 Share

In a scathing critique, Roberta Metsola has voiced her concerns about the current state of leadership in Malta and Gozo. She expresses her disbelief that in a time demanding strong leadership, the nations are being led by a Prime Minister she describes as indecisive and weak. Metsola highlights the irony of such a situation, given the resilient nature of the Maltese people.

Metsola emphasizes the pride and determination of the Maltese nation, stating that they deserve better than a Prime Minister who she believes is incapable of leading effectively. She argues that those facing serious criminal charges should not hold positions of influence, a sentiment she believes is shared by law-abiding citizens across the country.

The politician accuses the Prime Minister of prioritizing short-term political gains over the welfare of the nation, accusing him of dragging Malta and Gozo down with him. She describes the current political climate as the saddest spectacle the islands have witnessed, criticizing the Prime Minister for continuously lowering the standards expected of a national leader.

Metsola acknowledges the repeated challenges Malta and Gozo have faced in the past but suggests that the current situation is particularly dire. She condemns the Prime Minister for seemingly escalating the crisis rather than addressing it, stating that the nation urgently requires effective leadership to tackle pressing issues.

In conclusion, Metsola calls for an end to what she describes as the “theatre of the absurd,” urging for a change in leadership to address the serious challenges facing the country.

Joseph Muscat's Criminal Court Appearance Set for May 28

Former Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and several others implicated in the hospitals deal inquiry are set to appear in court on Tuesday, May 28, under the oversight of Magistrate Rachel Montebello.

Muscat, along with his former lieutenants Konrad Mizzi and Keith Schembri, faces charges including bribery, trading in influence, and money laundering. Others involved in the case stand accused of various crimes as well.

A second group of defendants, including Chris Fearne who recently resigned as minister, and Central Bank Governor Edward Scicluna, will face charges in a separate case, presided over by Magistrate Leonard Caruana.

All defendants have been charged under court summons, and they will enter a plea before being allowed to return home.

The charges stem from a magisterial inquiry into a now-voided 30-year, €4 billion deal to privatize three state hospitals during Muscat’s tenure. Despite Prime Minister Robert Abela’s criticism of the inquiry as biased, the report has not been made public.

Muscat has been granted access to all documents related to the inquiry and is seeking to prove bias on the part of the magistrate who led the probe.

Civil society group Repubblika has accused Attorney General Victoria Buttigieg of sabotaging the case against Muscat by instructing the State Advocate not to object to Muscat’s access to parts of the inquiry.
