Mario Demarco must have loved every minute of presenting a motion of no confidence in Manuel Mallia
It was Mario Demarco who presented the Opposition’s motion of no confidence in the Police Minister Manuel Mallia in parliament last night, and he must have loved every minute of it.
Times of Malta:
Referring to a declaration made by Dr Muscat that he will not discuss the motion in Parliament before the conclusion of a
judicial inquiry, Dr de Marco said the Prime Minister’s behaviour was unacceptable.
“The Prime Minister is trying to use a judicial inquiry to shift his responsibility for his ministers onto former judges. This
is not on, as it is the job of a Prime Minister to hold his ministers accountable for their political decisions.
“We expect the debate on this motion to be held as soon as possible and the Prime Minister should not use judicial inquiries as
a smokescreen.”

Kif qal tajjeb Beppe Fenech Adami, filwaqt li wiehed igorr arma fake (li hi haga hazina) u li kulhadd kien jaf li hi fake waqt protests, gie arrestat l-ghada (hekk ghandu jkun), u haddiehor spara 3 tiri u garr arma ta’ vera u gie arrestat gimgha wara.
If only our Prime Minister were as diligent about controlling his cabinet ministers as he is in acting like a peripathetic salesman of Malta’s citizenship and passports.
Did you see his Top Hits List? Brilliant!
Allow me to list some points in the motion.
A minister needs to be believable and trustworthy beyond a doubt.
This minister starts with a Rolodex of hundreds of suspected and convicted criminals, declares 500,000 euros in cash at the start of his term and provides a pardon for dozens of convicted criminals and releases them onto our streets.
Then he removes and reassigns numerous police officers, promotes others outside the standard procedures and reinstates some ‘old trusted’ officers who were no longer on the payslip. Two of these become his personal driver, on the side take care of his child and let’s not forget – carry a gun. He knows them personally and entrusts them serve him well.
One of them draws his gun in an argument, gives chase when the other party flees and shoots with aim several times. The minister’s police department moves the cars in the ‘crime scene’, arrests and interrogate only one party.
Meanwhile the government informs the public falsely (warning shots in the air) and refuses to take responsibility. Many days later, the driver get’s to be brought in for questioning as well, but the responsible minister keeps denying involvement. The prime minister tries to stay out and shies away from taking action too.
What else needs to happen before it is clear that the man is not beyond suspicion and should step down to either clear his name or face the consequences.
With a PL government, the only way is up – cover up , frame up.
You forgot f*ck up.
I so look forward to see those on the government benches vote. I wonder whether some will be sick or abroad. Although I expect it, I will still be disgusted at the treachery of the others.
Perhaps all the switchers can then speak up about how the government is fulfilling its promise of a new style of governing.
Mario Demarco can’t stand Manuel Mallia’s guts, and no, it has nothing to do with the fact that Mallia had a relationship with his sister. He can’t stand him as a person, never could.
Incidentally, everyone seems to have forgotten that Manuel Mallia was married to Nevise Mifsud Bonnici. The marriage broke up around 20 years ago or so, when he began chasing Giannella’s tail.
Was that marriage annulled? Because if it was not, Manuel and Codruta can’t be married, unless they married just recently post the divorce law.
