Journalists have been waiting two hours and the press conference still hasn’t started

Live reporting in real time via The Malta Independent. But so far all we have are reports about journalists shuffling round impatiently and twiddling their thumbs.
They were called for 7.30pm, the prime minister turned up at 8pm, and at almost 9.30pm there’s still nothing happening.

Glued to the TV waiting for the outcome.
“21:16
10 minutes later, still no sign of Muscat. Journalists are going through the various stages of acceptance that this is going to be a long night.”
And One TV has nothing about it.
Arani issa! Perfect show title for the moment! Lol all eyes on Net and Castille!
Press conference will be ‘on record’ ..ie pre-recorded
COWARD!
I am enjoying myself following Arani Issa on Super One. U mela l-konferenza stampa!
I hope that Kurt Coconut has stocked up on the cookies.
More resignations, or more cookies?
Can you imagine having two Libyan fighter jets in Maltese airspace seeking asylum . They surely would have had to ditch as they run out of fuel.
OMG…propaganda on TVM while the nation waits for the PM.
Mallia’s site is offline.

The Prime Minister gets a kick from making people wait. Miskin.
I have a feeling that he is going to announce a 2c decrease in the price of gas or petrol.
Why are you wondering about the delay? Mintoff always let people wait two or three hours.
I once went to a meeting with Prime Minister Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici to which other people who had taken a 3 hour flight had been invited.
When we had been waiting for a couple of hours already, he came out of the office, offhandedly offered his cold handshake, brushed everyone off by saying that he could not stay for the meeting and rushed out.
At that point our foreign partners understood more about the difficulties of Maltese businesses than all of our explanations put together.
Being Northern European they had not fully understood the arrogance.
Mifsud Bonnici had acted as if that made him look big. From then on he became a joke which we could refer to and even our foreign partners could share.
Reminds me of Gaddafi; keeping journalists waiting for hours on end to hear his ‘words of wisdom’.
Will you people cut the guy some slack? It’s going to be difficult for him to admit he’s not fit to govern.
Government by histrionics.
Can we have a few cookie recipes to pass the time?
Maybe nobody wants the commissioner’s job under this lot.
I can’t take this any longer. It is not that we are not ‘a pajjiz serju’. The issue is that the ‘gvern mhux serju’.
Many, many people are simply disgusted at what is going on. Like any other country we have a few monkeys who will follow whatever the government does.
Even many PN voters never thought that the situation should have escalated so quickly, let alone the switchers!
He’s waiting for ‘Arani Issa’ to finish on One TV.
I gave up waiting. I am watching Johnny English.
May I suggest someone at Kastilja contact this magnificent investigator to visit our island to help solve the crisis Malta is presently facing?
LGBT must be happy tonight. There’s Arani Issa on One featuring Joseph in a very shiny suit and a bow tie.
I’m not sure I heard right but TVM reported that Joseph Muscat will be calling in the journalists in pairs.
Wasn’t it beef that was supposed to be served?
Michael Cassar is the new Police Commissioner. What a joke. The fourth Police Commissioner in 21 months.
Dear Maltese people sorry but I can’t give you a real Happy Christmas – the MLP always manages to mar this festive season.
And the PN media were not invited. Though they went anyway. Good on them.
Next time the really independent news media reporters should walk out when the PM walks in.
He was obviously waiting for a reply from Manuel Mallia to the effect that he’d be resigning. There was of course no agreement in the end.
This gvern li jisma’ should listen to the proposals of the Opposition on how to govern and it would not have come to this tragic situation of Malliagate.
