'I did not vote for MLP in 2003' - Lino Spiteri

Former Finance Minister Lino Spiteri in an interview being carried in The Sunday Times today says he did not vote for the MLP in 2003 because he wanted Malta to join the EU.

He also admits to having been ‘an idiot’ for not having resigned in 1994 when Alfred Sant decided, on his own, to commit Labour to remove VAT once it was returned to power. Mr Spiteri was shadow minister of finance at the time, but first learnt of the decision from friends over dinner.

In the interview, conducted by Herman Grech, Mr Spiteri also discusses, among other issues, the leadership election he lost to Alfred Sant, his support for EU membership and his views of the MLP now. Excerpts of the interview can be seen in the video above.
