I think that Ms Caruana Galizia is right – Franco is after the leadership of the party – but what I disagree with Ms Caruana Galizia is that at this stage he does and cannot want it for himself.

I have a hunch who he is backing. What I fear is that few have realised who this is. This person in question is very ambitious, has not a family tradition in the party, is regarded as an achiever, ruthless and what’s most important everyone believes that Dr. Gonzi has high esteem of this individual.

Unfortunately the Prime Minister has put as the Maltese saying goes a (serp f’hobbu).

One thing I am convinced of: Franco and the person he is backing are not alone. Dr. Debono is not a stupid or mad person.

It would be a big mistake if one thinks that.

At this stage he knows (and has known for some time) that his only way out is that there will be a new leader and this leader will embrace him as he would have been the person who gave a constant voice and a solid platform to the group of persons that ousted the previous leader.

Maybe I have let my imagination run riot, but time will tell.
