Jidher ċar li l-unika intenzjoni ta&#039; Joseph Muscat hi li jakkomoda lil Franco Mercieca li fil-perjodu ta&#039; bejn it-tħabbir tar-riżultat elettorali u l-ħatra tal-kabinett kien stqarr li Muscat kien avviċinah, imma Mercieca kien għadu qed jevalwa u  jikkonsidra għax il-professjoni kien iħobbha. 

Mela wieħed jista&#039; jobsor li FM qabel aċċetta għamel kundizzjoni u forsi għalhekk li tah Segretarjat &#039;lean&#039; tal-anzjani, li minnu neħħielu l-ikbar istituzzjoni tal-anzjani i.e. St Vincent de Paule.

Ċertament li Franco Mercieca mhux indispensabbli fil-qasam tal-anzjani. Il-Prim Ministru seta&#039; ċertament, kieku ried, sab lil xi ħadd ieħor f&#039;dan il-qasam.]]></description>

Jos. Muscat &#039;bi zvista&#039; asked members of the Broadcasting Authority to resign.  In like manner, &#039;bi zvista&#039;, he asked those persons entrusted to represent Maltese citizens living abroad to resign from their post.  I do not think that Franco Mercieca can possibly abandon his profession.  He will be needed in Parliament checking the P.L.&#039;s members&#039; eyesight.]]></description>

I like this man; he’s assertive...like his wife, Ann  Fenech.

No beating about the bush.

He won’t let his department’s reputation to be tainted; he’s got no indispensable &quot;prima donnas&quot; in his department.

He managed without Franco Mercieca’s services for the whole three months of the electoral campaign.

He’s a breath of fresh air, may I add.]]></description>
