Had Franco been appointed minister, would he not have had to give up his lucrative legal practice?

Why is it such a sore point with him other than that he wants Gonzi’s job at all costs?

Franco Debono’s place would be with the LP but there are two catches:

1. In that case he would demand a ministry – or else.
2. Minister or not, he would be subservient to Joseph Muscat, his former classmate, nemesis, and who never got 100% in religion in Form IIc.

If he crosses the floor, giving Labour a majority of one, then Joseph can go to the President and request to govern. Would that not be ironic? Joseph becomes prime minister without ever getting one vote in a general election? All this without all the ‘suffering’ Debono went through and Debono would have crowned him PM !

Perhaps all those who support Franco’s ‘balls’ should stop and think why Joseph has been uncharacteristically silent.

Franco’s reforms
John Dalli’s power station
Jeffrey’s rushed divorce bill
Musumeci’s and Falzon’s proposals to reverse Mepa’s remit

None of these in the 2008 manifesto chosen for implementation. None challenged in their integrity, just discarded, or so it seems, when the iniquity is exposed.

And inversely

The perverse distortion and blatant sabotage of the transport reform and the BWSC plant convertible to gas when the pipeline is in place.

The shameless wooing of ‘developers’, one of them indicted of assault.
The utter absence of any decency to disclose what has been agreed and signed with the Chinese Communist Party
The constant harping against any satire directed at those who spell out their disgrace.
The subtle admission that if it’s not the ideas that are challenged it must be those who propose them; as if people are what they think and not the other way round.

Who needs an electoral programme when keeping one’s word is out of the window?

Or when the rule of law is proving too restrictive.
‘Mhux ahjar nirrangaw bejnietna?, il-Maltin ghalhekk tajbin.’

It explains Franco’s distress, No one resorts to his tactics if the motives are one’s genuine convictions. Unless one is under some check.

Labour intend to win by projection, not default. How long this house of cards will last is what has to be challenged. Anything else is to Joseph’s liking.
The same will happen to him. Not could.
It’s the natural progression of events.

“Former PN minister insists problem is Gonzi not Debono”

and

“it’s a group of people who topple a leader and not one person on his own”

[Daphne – He was seriously misquoted. Find his original piece in Malta Today today and read it. He is very critical of Franco Debono and his actions.]

F’kelma wahda, hemm hmieg kbir ghaddej, f’vortici li jdur ma’ Herrera.

Kien dwar drogi. Hemm hafna x’wiehed jista’ jghid, inkluz dwar il-modalitajiet tat-tqassim tad-drogi, u elementi ohra tal-isfond.

X’inhu ghaddej minn wara l-kwinti?
