Perhaps the Law Commissioner and Chief of Constitutional Reform would like to tell us about his special relationship with Carol Peralta
Franco Debono – loud, aggressive, vulgar, arrogant and egocentric – was mentored by Carol Peralta at Mrs Debono’s Hal Ghaxaq bar, the Hot Rod.
You would think that one of the first people the press would rush to for comments about Carol Peralta’s lousy, drunken behaviour, his party in a courtroom and his order to the police to arrest a reporter for photographing the proceedings would be the Law Commissioner and chief of Constitutional Reform, Franco Debono.
He has the added advantage of knowing Peralta really well and of having a special relationship with him. Carol Peralta was a regular drinker at Franco’s mother’s bar in Hal Ghaxaq, the Hot Rod Bar, driving there several times a week to spend mornings and evenings knocking it back because – let’s give these people the benefit of the doubt – he may have needed a change in scene from the bars closer to home in St Julian’s, Mdina and Gozo.
Peralta got to know the barwoman’s son really well and mentored him in the law. And the result, as we have seen, is what it is.

You reap what you sow.
Hmieg li hamgu l-professjoni legali. Kemm hawn iktar minn dal-hmieg?
A mentor indeed! Need we wonder why some have such mediocre standards?
I was at Da Pippo for lunch on Wednesday and guess who walks in and spends all afternoon there eating and drinking? None other then Franco Debono, Chris Cardona and some other cronies. I tell you it was Labour-land at its best, or rather worst.
I left at around 4pm with indigestion and they were still there partying. What an attitude and what a way to run a country.
If you are not into being surrounded by Laburisti, do yourself a favour and don’t go there.
Cardona’s given up, Malta registered the largest percentage decrease in production, -14%, in the EU.
That figure will wreak havoc with GDP, give it another six months and we’ll be officially in recession, or as Scicluna will have it, negative growth.
He claimed his government is producing 21 new job opportunities a day, fine, what he doesn’t mention is the expected minimum rate. When hi-tech manufacturing starts to stall, something’s not right. FDI reduced to a couple of lame announcements, long forgotten.
The PN’s challenge during the electoral campaign, namely Tonio Fenech’s question to the strategy, goes unanswered.
They shoot horses, don’t they?
Perhaps they were waiting for a pole dancer as the grand finale to their lunch.
Where are his “riformi fil-qasam tal-gustizzja” now?
Shouldn’t he be on Super One discussing the rot of the present government and its inability to deal with cases like Peralta’s effectively?
Where is he hiding? Preparing for another “priedka tat-tifel,” maybe? Or is he spending more time with the birds?
