Franco Debono is in his spiritual home, Rome, presumably meditating among the ruins. He left on Thursday.
He returns on Monday to vote against the Budget, after which a party to celebrate the collapse of the government is planned for Laburisti and their fellow-travellers.
I am interested in seeing how Botox Jeff plans to work this one out. Will he vote for the Budget, as he said he would, and then accompany Mrs Pullicino Mark II to the celebration of its defeat afterwards?
Or will Mrs Pullicino Mark II go unaccompanied?
Such rubbish people.

Come son buoni ‘sti spaghetti alle vongole veraci. Ti ‘e stomaco! (hu go fik stonku)
Daphne u hbiebha. Ghandkhom x’tomghodu, ghax issa anki Eddie Fenech Adami jaqbel li l-PL ghandu jivvota kiontyra l-budget, kif dejjem ” kienet il-prassi” li l-Oppozizzjoni tivvota kontra l-budget, kif kien ghamel dejjem hu stess u l-PN !
Online poll by Malta Today on how Franco will vote:
55% say he will vote against
18% say he will abstain
5% say he will vote in favour
22% are undecided
Place your bets.

Oh. My. God.
Eddy Privitera has invaded the TMI comments board as well, with his timesofmaltaonline friend, Victor Laiviera.
@ ciccio
Even the idiot who signs his every nugget of wisdom mentioning a beat going on, or some such drivel, has managed to make it there.
ciccio: Why don’t you join us on the TMI comment board ? Or you prefer staying in Daphne’s shelter lest you expose yourself too much ?
I say he’ll miss the flight from Rome.
Heavy snowfall in Rome (i.e. disruptions to scheduled flights) would be such a comic deus ex machina.
But on second thoughts I agree with you. Seems like a lawyer’s perfect way of not going back on his word while at the same time finding an ingenious way how not to deliver on his (unfavourable) promise.
He must have felt pretty chuffed when he had that bright idea. Ħasra ma jistax jiċċelebra b’pastizz mal-kafè f’Ruma.
Fiorentina plays Roma tomorrow at the Olimpico.
As Franco is in Italy he could take a leaf out of the one of the opposition parties that is going to vote for the budget as this is a national issue and not party politics.
Let’s hope he booked a one-way ticket.
A case of the pot calling the kettle…………!
U int, Eddy, kif se ticcelebra?
Nahseb tibla zewg Viagra nhar it-tnejn.
Troy: Jaqaw int diga gejt bzonnhom ? U nahseb li wara l-elezzjoni se jkollok bzonnhom ghax mohhok ma jkunx jista jikkoncentra fuq ix-xoghol !
Skond Eddy, biex tikkoncentra trid tiehu l-Viagra. Fejn hu mohhok, Eddy?
Ghalaq halqek, Privitera.
I wish that this story about the party is true and it will really happen after Franco votes along with Joseph.
This event will be a good eye-opener to the undecided and the usual switchers.
They will realise what a puerile lot you all are, and where you will head Malta if you succeed in winning the next election.
Remember one thing – that he who laughs last laughs best.
In 2008, Dr. Gonzi, single-handed, managed to turn a deficit of about 13,000 votes into another PN victory.
KEMM IBELLGHULKHOM HMERIJIET U CUCATI ! JAQAW DIN DAPHNE BELLGHATIELKHOM ????
Jesus Christ… it must be hell inside your head.
Eddy Privitera,
You believe we were better off in the eighties under KMB and that ghastly filthy dog Mintoff, may he rot in hell.
That alone means you are not intelligent enough to be witty, so please stop trying.
Johann Camilleri: Billi int suppost Demokristjan”, tinsiex ghada tmur il-quddies u tmur titqarben , OK ? Kemm iddiskriviekhom tajjeb Sidna Gesu Kristu meta qal il-kliem : ” OQBRA MBAJJDA” !
You prove my point that to vote Labour (in Malta) you must either be of below average intelligence and/or lazy and envious of people willing to work for their success, or brainwashed from birth and so prejudiced that you can’t change.
You decided I’m a ‘Christian-Democrat’ because you can’t see it’s anybody with an IQ higher then a peanut’s or without a chip on their shoulder, and not just PN supporters who hate Mintoff for all the ‘hdura’ and hatred he sowed in Malta, the repercussions of which we still feel today.
You decided I go to mass, and receive communion, but I left Malta ages ago, mainly because of the lanzit-ridden mentality of oh so many Maltese, you being a prime example.
I visit just often enough to keep a vote, and the only reason I bother is to vote against the Labour Party, and will do so until every last remnant of that vile bastard’s presence is thrown out, may he rot in hell.
As for quoting Christ, coming from you, Mr ‘Living in Sin’ according to Christian teachings, that’s rich. I have no problem with it, but you brought it up.
Why is this old fart writing comments on every website there is? Has he not better things to do these few years he has left?
Kemm tixtieq li kont EDDIE dear eddy who has a lot of time to waste on all the blogs available. But the more you write the more you convince that your beloved lejper has not changed at all
Hi Mr. Priviteera.
Busy monopolizing the Independent’s comments boards now that Franco’s is on its last legs eh?
Happy celebrations next Monday.
Privitera it took you about two hours to respond to the comments beneath yours, and all you managed to come out with is more cuccati.
Isma minni, ghalaq halek u stenna ir-resultat ta’ l-elezzjoni.
I can assure you it is not in the bag yet and the PL will have a good run for its money.
TINSEWX NHAR IT-TNEJN NILTAQAW QUDDIEM IL-Parlament BIEX NAPPOGJAW LIL DAWK IL-MEMBRI PARLAMENTARI LI SEJRIN JIVVUTAW FAVUR IL-BUDGET. LIL DAWK LI SEJRIN JIVVUTAW GHALINA, GHAL ULIEDNA U GHAL GID TA MALTA U GHAWDEX.
JEKK HEMM XI MEMBRU PARLAMENTARI LI JSEJJAH LILU MA HAWNX NAZJONALIST DAQSU. NGHIIDULU LI L-EBDA NAZJONALIST MA JIVVOTA MAL-LABOUR U FRANCO TAHT L-EBDA SKUZA MA GHANDU JIVVOTA KONTRA IL-BUDGET GHALIEX…………………………. MA NAHFRULU QATT, QATT U QATT.
yuppppps vera toleranti inthom not
Mhux toleranti? tahseb fi zmien Mintoff xi hadd kien jasal sa l-ewwel pass ta’ nuqqas ta’ qbil?
Charles. jekk Franco jivvota kontra l-budget STAQSI LILL-GONZI ghaliex gieb lill-partit f’din is-sitwazzjoni !
Jekk, sur Privitera, jekk…
Et tu brute.
The Ides of March are come.
OK, I know what will happen on Monday. Franco will miss his plane to Malta from Rome.
The votes will be equal and the speaker will cast his obligatory “YES” vote…Budget 2013 passes and everyone will live happily ever after.
Don’t bet on it. He’s probably returning to Malta tomorrow. He will not miss Monday’s vote for anything in this world.
His personal grudge is too much for his ego and the personal grudges he has against his fellow PN cabinet ministers are worse.
Daphne’s reliable spies told her he’ll be returning on Monday.
I hope there will be chaos in Rome because of the snow .Or Fiorentina wins and Franco gets drunk…and wishful thinking.
Do Alitalia still do those unexpected strikes which cause havoc in Italy’s aviation traffic and flight schedules?
Is Rome going to be Franco’s new home next week?
Franco, you will be remembered with disdain and abhorrence if you vote against the budget.
Don’t do it. It is not right to reject and betray the mandate of those who put you in parliament.

I could not find the relevant articles or facts, but I do recall that a while back Judge Farrugia Sacco and some other judge / magistrate were reprimanded by the government for retaining posts in such organisations / committees, like the MOC, band clubs, voluntary organisations etc, placing their own integrity at risk.
The reply from Farrugia Sacco was that he would not resign because he was doing nothing wrong. No action whatsoever was taken by the Commission of the administration of justice
If my memory serves me right , that happened about 10 years ago when Minister Gatt had insisted that judges should not have anything to do with such organizations because of perceived conflict of interest in case of judicial cases involving such organizations ie band clubs,sports committees etc.
Both judges Farrugia-Sacco and Tonio Mizzi gave the proverbial third finger to the minister at the time.
This happened at the time when the case involving ex- judges Vella and Arrigo ended up public domain..
You know that famous quote from Animal Farm.
Hmm. What happens if his plane is delayed?
He’ll phone in with his vote. (I bet his phone will have network coverage / will be ringing even thousands of feet in the air.)
I understand amongst those invited besides the trio currently in parliament, there will be those ex Nationalists ministers, ex parliamentary secs, ex MPs and ex party officials who contributed so much to the defeat of the Nationalist Party in the next election.
Spot on! The chavs!
Franco must be putting the final touches to his new abode in the Eternal City. After Monday’s vote, I would think he will spirit himself away to Rome for the next weeks and months.
Demoting himself to non-entity status in Malta, he will crave to be called Dottore again. He’ll be Malta’s shame walking down Appia Antica.
I do not think that the Italians refer to lawyers as “dottore”. That’s only in Malta.
Italians use dottore for anyone who has graduated from university, whatever the course (being so common and widespread, the title isn’t such a big deal as it is in Malta) but they don’t keep referring to their politicians as dottore as we do here. Normally they just use the surname, sometimes accompanied by the christian name but without any title.
The surname thing is very widespread. Even female personalities become ‘La’ + surname.
Italians refer to lawyers as ‘Avvocato’
What if Franco Debono misses the flight back?
Then he misses the flight back.
But will Franco vote against? I am hoping that he will not even though he said he would.
I think he is intelligent enough to realise that the best thing for himself is to vote in favour of the budget. JPO and Mugliett are voting in favour and putting this on him alone.
If he votes against and the budget does not pass, this will cause unnecessary problems and hardships to many people. He and the PL will be seen in a very bad light and he would have jeopardized his political and legal careers even further.
No, I am hoping that Franco will do the right thing and vote in favour of the budget. If he does vote in favour, he will show a sense of maturity and win back the respect of many people.
You can’t be serious! Win the respect of many? After all that he’s done? He’s LONG lost any claim to respect. He’s been threatening and blackmailing for years. He’s LONG, LONG crossed the line of decency.
Intelligent enough? Show a sense of maturity? What planet are you living on?
X’int gwejjed!
He might freeze watching Roma Vs Fiorentina tonight. Might see him on TV. He’s bound to move in front of a TV camera
Il-Guy’s ‘ma nafx insejt’ comment seems to be taking hold on PL speakers.
Yesterday it was Edward Scicluna’s turn during his press conference about Malta’s take on EU funds.
Replying to a question, he replied ‘ma niftakarx’.
I’m sure that he is going to miss the plane.he talks too much.
Edward Scicluna had “ Futur whatever “ in the background during his solo press conference at the MLP HQ ; PASSAT is more fitting for the septuagerian.
For most Maltese Rome is their spiritual home in various aspects.
Raspberry.
I saw this bill board which says that Gonzi PN proposes and Labour delivers.
I think it should be Gonzi PN proposes and delivers ; Labour started the children’s allowance and GonziPN saw to it that they are provided and increased for a whole twenty five years, same applies to pensions which Labour used to tell us that the PN will remove once they are in power.
Well not only pensions were increased by a greater amount than they should, but also other bonuses and social benefits were created…Gonzi PN delivers the goods with extras.
Truly I ask: “What did tardy Joseph ever deliver?” If he delivered pizza it would surely be cold, because he’s always late.Good deliveries are on time.
BTW: yesterday a PL tragedy of unimaginable magnitude was avoided because we were supposed to watch Anglu debating with Simon.
Sorry to disappoint you but I think we will never see them together debating on Xarabank. Yesterday Anglu was “indispost”.
I suspect that Franco is in Rome to get a hold of one of those cool rooster hats.
He might as well bring another rooster hat for Joseph to cover that big bald spot and to be even more like his idol as shown on this vintage newsreel.

The comment left by a worried Laburist on inewsmalta.com. My my arn’t they keen to celebrate the “waqa tal-Gvern” on Monday.
Hubert kun onest, int x’ghamilt fin-1998? Min jaf kemm kont “eggsited” eh?
According to today’s The Malta Independent on Sunday, Debono is quoted as saying that it will be a privilege for him to vote against the budget.
We can assure him that that the privilege won’t be as big as ours when we finally see the back of him.
