Hawn xi xemghat homor bir-ritratt ta’ Franco, bhal dawk ta’ Dun Gorg Preca, jahasra miskin kemm ghadda minn martirju?

If so, please tell me where to buy some to go with my Dun Gorg Preca mug.

“The people have me to thank, seeing how I had to go through all that I passed from (sic)”, he was quoted as saying, on Malta Today’s site.

Never mind the hell he put so many others through.

I wonder if his mama is making him minestra bil-pastina biex tikkalmah.

“Naghmillek daqxejn bajda go fiha, Franco, qalbi hi, ha terga tibni sahhtek? Mur strieh daqxejn, pooh, kemm tidher ghajjien miskin. Issa illejla toqghodx tohrog ma’ dik, ta. Oqghod hawn hu hsieb sahhtek.”

From the story on Malta Today’s site:

“If this is the ruling clique, I won’t support government. I want to live in a democracy, not an oligarchy,” he told MaltaToday.

Asked what he meant by not supporting the government, Debono said: “They can deal with the March elections themselves,” he said referring to the PN’s campaign for the forthcoming local council elections.

    The last thing the Nationalist Party needs is Franco Debono campaigning on its behalf. I am really surprised that so far Franco still hasn’t realised that his days at the Nationalist Party are over and done with.

    • J Abela says:

      His political career is over. But it won’t be the PN that refuses him nor would it be the PM. It would be his own constituency that finishes him off.

      Franco Debono was elected from the 5th district; a district where Nationalist voters are always the minority.

      Because of this they tend to be staunch Nationalists.

      These people will never forgive Franco for the trouble he’s causing. They will definitely not forgive him if the government falls because of his actions.

      He will be labeled a traitor by the same people who voted for him last time.

      If Franco Debono wants to continue pursuing a political career he might as well cross over to the Labour Party. But I’m sure he won’t do it. He won’t like being Muscat’s little whimsical puppy.

    • Toro says:

      Not only has he not realised that. He probably sees himself as the saviour of the PN, who will arrive, on the white stallion, in time to fight the evil ginger dwarf and his army of elves.

  2. aaa says:

    it seems like classical dystopic literature such as 1984 and shockwave rider was not on Franco Debono’s Form 2 school curicculum

  3. Riff Raff says:

    Il-Vergni Franco Debono. What a mug.

  4. John Schembri says:

    It is evidently clear that Franco and Joseph use people and organisations as stepping-stones to move forward their personal ambitions.

    Is this a coincidence?

    I hope this is not what Fr Herbert Friggieri (?) encouraged in his religion class of Form 2 C at St Aloysius in 1987.

  5. mark v says:

    May I ask for silence on the matter of Franco Debono.

    His very close relatives need to get him to his senses before he commits something really stupid so that he can remain in the limelight.

    If until now he has not yet realised that nobody gives a heck about what he is going through and that he is regarded as a primadonna wannabe, then he really has got mental issues and is unfit to stay in parliament.

  6. Carmel Scicluna says:

    Li kien qed jaghmel ma kienx ghalxejn. Franco ried jiehu bicca mil-kejk. Il-prim ministru qasam il-ministeru tal-gustizzja kif xtaq Franco … imma l-kejk ma tahulux.

  7. Emanuel Zerafa says:

    Wake up please and let grown-ups move our country in the right direction. Children are lovely to look at, especially when playing with their toys. Which toy do you enjoy playing most with, Franco?

  8. denis says:

    I strongly believe that Franco Debono should be impeached on the grounds of mental incapacity to hold an office.

    Surely, he needs medical (psychiatric) attention. He should resign himself and seek urgent care.

    Franco’s latest interview with PBS:

  10. Lorna saliba says:

    I think you’re right, Daphne: This is an emotional tug-of-war for dear Franco. His classmate rival Joseph is in pole position while he has been left out in the cold with all his childish aspirations shattered.

    He has not been given what he wanted and is now threatening to break the government’s back by not voting with it.

    Lawrence Gonzi must not call a confidence vote.

    On the contrary, he should allow Franco to abstain or vote against the government, thus putting all the burden of guilt on him for a forthcoming election.

    Like they say, you never ask a boy to do a man’s job. But Lawrence Gonzi does bear some fault in all of this by allowing boyscouts onto the PN list.

  11. Anna says:

    Daphne, did you see Peppi Azzopardi’s interview with the Prime Minister yesterday, just before Xarabank started? I think Dr. Gonzi spoke brilliantly.

    [Daphne – I wrote about it in a previous post.]

  12. marlene says:

    I’m sure that many people have looked up the word oligarchy in their dictionaries today unless, like me, they already knew what it meant.

    So here we have a claim of ‘oligarchy’ made by a ”megalomaniac’.

    Need I say more?

  13. San Ditu says:

    All that Franco needs now is a little bit more time – he produced the rope, and has now formed the noose….

  14. Amanda says:

    Today, the PN need to make moves to formally kick him out of the party and strip him of the PN whip in Parliament.

  15. ciccio says:

    Here lies the political life of Franco Debono. 2008-2012. The Maltese Politician who went from Haiku to Harakiri.

  16. Kevin says:

    His days in the land of the sane are gone, that’s for certain.

  17. Karl Flores says:

    It could be that the Labour Party feels the urgency to call an election because they would have remained in opposition till the end of the world, given that the 21st December 2012 is the final day.

  18. Rover says:

    This bloke won’t even get a job as a shelf stacker in my local supermarket. And they would tell him where to stick his Form 2 report.

  19. oldtimer says:

    Actually, it is a pity that things have come to this point. Franco had quite a few good things he wanted tackled but unfortunately he went about it in a very very puerile way.

    Now, of course, he is angry and envious (I do nt blame him) for the appointment of the new ministers but I am sure a politician should have seen that a ministerial position for him was absolutely not on.

  20. Antoine Vella says:

    Franco Debono is, of course, insulting our intelligence by speaking the way he does about “suffering” but, unfortunately he’s not the only one in Malta.

    The idea of suffering is a relative one and for people who haven’t lived through the Mintoff/KMB regime, even not finding enough parking spaces qualifies as “suffering”; having to wait for a bus is even worse and constitutes a violation of their human rights.
