Xarabank on the budget

On Xarabank on Friday, Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi, Opposition leader Alfred Sant and Alternattiva Demokratika chairman Harry Vassallo will meet for their first televised debate after the budget.

The three will discuss the issues among themselves and will engage with a live audience.

The results of a scientific survey on how the public reacted to the budget will be announced during the programme. Friday's programme will reveal who the Maltese consider to be trusted with solving Malta's financial problems and what would happen if an election were held now.

Xarabank will be aired live at 9.15 p.m., directly after the Prime Minister's parliamentary speech. To form part of the audience call 2124 9200.
