Dr Muscat also referred to abortion and said the PL was reiterating its pro-life position.

Why all this fuss because Dr. Muscat is attending the Socialist Parties ' s meeting in Madrid? As if he hit the moon! As in similar occasions different personalities from various countries are present and greet each other as a matter of courtesy. Nothing more and nothing less. Comparing Dr. Muscat's standing with that of Malta's Prime Minister is simply stupid. Whenever Dr.Gonzi attends similar reunions he is there as the Prime Minister of a nation. And in this case Dr.Gonzi beats Dr. Muscat hands down
