 Mintoff in Parliament.........trouble rises once again:

TODAY

Parliament will meet again on the 26th October

The Government has stopped before the actual time for summer recess. The Prim Minister has realized that he cannot carry on governing with out a majority.

Most probably an election will be called by the 26th October 1998. Till then the country will remain in all this uncertainty

 

YESTERDAY

The opposition and Dom Mintoff keep Parliament out of order. Nothing can pass in Parliament any more.

Malta cannot go on under Alfred Sant and his divided party
"Who calls me a traitor will have to suck it." Dom Mintoff, Ex M.L.P. PM
There is still a lot of trouble Eddie Fenech Adami
Parliament has to decide not the foreign investors. Opposision Leader
Parliament to discuss other matters rather than the most urgent ones.

Mintoff once again attacks Sant and makes him blush. Mintoff confirms that NOBODY is discussing the MLP line with him. EFA condemns Sants method of following US orders rather than Parliament.   Nobody wants to take Sant's place

George Abela neither even though many MLP delegates rather him to Dr. Sant. Sant is in a dark corner and cannot get out. Any path he chooses from now on will bring him down. Who lives by the sword will die by the sword.
 (up date of 24/06/98)
The Labour Government in crises after only 20 months
 
Mintoff to vote against his government
 
The ruling Socialist party is divided between:
The Prim Minister - Alfred Sant
The Ex-Prim Minister - Dom Mintoff
Lino Spiteri - Ex Minister of Sant's government
George Abela - Ex consultant of Sant
And the other party fractions.
 
We cannot live in such a way. Parliament has become the battle ground of the Labour Party crises. Parliament is discussing Labour Party issues and not national ones. A country cannot be ruled in such a way. It is time to move on.

Dr. Sant please clear the way to fresh people i.e. people with new ideas.
