Bil-Malti nghiduha isbah….

They must be shown as what they are by the PN so that people are not be fooled by their antics. The constraints that existed before the general election are no longer there.

And Robert Arrigo must never again accept to go on One TV harming the PN like he did during the last years.

Jifhem tant fis-sahha, Guzep Muscat poggieh fil-bord ta’ PBS biex ipattilu ftit ta’ kemm il-darba deher fuq is-SuperOne.

Mela mastrudaxxa tibghatu jahdem ta’ haddied? Tal-genn, man.

Which is exactly why he can’t get a deal through.

At least Josie made it work without using the party. It’s how it’s done, Frank, no insurance cover.

No wonder you hate everyone’s guts.

However, all this is futile. The present government will not enter into an agreement with Frank over St. Philip’s.

Edward Scicluna’s primary aim is to reduce spending and bring the deficit within the normal parameters without concealing debt figures and without piling on health and education costs on an already burdened welfare state.

We are aware that the Government owes astronomical amounts to pharmaceutical companies to finance our health system and this is giving these same companies powerful leverage to retain the price of medicines way above the European average.

This mentality of Maltese governments, be it who it may, to continue to throw tax money at problems has to stop: golden handshakes to the dry docks, golden handshakes to Air Malta and bank employees are all a burden on the state and it is ultimately the tax payer who is footing the bill.

Very true Joe. The PN has been too lax in its choice of candidates – besides this guy, we should not forget that horror Franco Debono, the unprincipled JPO, and that incompetent Jesmond Mugliett.

Tonio Fenech’s and Claudio Grech’s embarrassing antics haven’t helped much either.

Scicluna needs to come up with a solution to make up for the EUR 6 million annual increase in the cost of the cabinet and all the promises made before the election. Revenue will not make up for these increases, while the projected deficit by the end of this year is 3.7%, probably more.

Scicluna seems obsessed with education and health costs, which indicates that there is no room to purchase a new hospital and add to the operational costs in the health sector.

Acquiring a new hospital would be highly irresponsible at this juncture, irrespective of the deal struck between Portelli and Muscat before the election.

Another cost-cutting exercise will be the consolidation and merger of public schools disguised under the experiment to introduce co-ed schools in Malta.

This initiative has nothing to do with either education methods or the pupils themselves. Public schools are going to be decreased through a consolidation exercise, with a higher number of pupils attending each school in order to decrease the total maintenance bill of public schools.

The closed schools premises will be sold off for other projects, probably to the same contactors who financed the MLP election campaign. All this will be done with the blessing of the MUT, given that their ex-leader has been given a cosy assignment.

Ara jigix biex jigbrulu l-voti minn H’Attard! Ja gakbin!
