Muscat claims as his own achievement the end-2016 budget surplus PM Gonzi announced in 2013

Back in 2013, Prime Minister Gonzi spoke at a public meeting and said specifically that Malta would post a budget surplus by the end of 2016, because of the policies implemented by three successive Nationalist governments over 15 years since 1998.

But now we have to endure the offensive spectacle of Prime Minister Muscat claiming that his government achieved this in just four years. “It is a miracle,” he said.

No, it is an insult to our intelligence.
