Surely it was not worth the trouble caused within the Nationalist Party.

I have no wish to be colonised. I just don’t want this head of state.

I would rather think that what is due is justification i.e. a proper explanation why people were led to believe by the Community Chest Fund that the funds we donated were for the needy when in fact the persons allocating funds felt they could appease the President dipping into those funds.

Agreeing to do something does not make it right; being the President does not give one the right to give away anything but then, should we be surprised?

These are the people who left marble plaques in the Verdala Castle garden, commemorating for posterity the baptism of their children in the castle chapel.

So giving away what is not yours just because you have power is a pattern which can be seen in various other actions. Pity, seeing one failing to rise to one’s station is not a pleasant sight!

Totally agree with your first two points, but definitely not with your third.

I am Maltese and proud to be and now we happen to be EU citizens just like the Brits and although our politicians leave a lot to be desired, that is no reason to want to be colonised once again.

The President (who was Joseph Muscat’s competitor for the leadership of the party) resigns and Muscat points out what bad judgement Lawrence Gonzi had and blames the whole mess on the PN.

Or was it because it was the best thing to do after the story broke?
