@ George Mifsud - Minister Giovanna Debono is No. 3.
Bertie O'Cassey (on 9/1/09)
So, First of all the costs of travel, accommodation and subsistence are refunded by the EU.

And I believe the when No1 and No2 are out of the country Giovanna Debono is the acting Prime Minister.

@ Duncan Sant.

As you put it "PN Bloggers" do not need to attack anyone, we just state the facts and the real truth, that will suffice.
George Mifsud (on 9/1/09)
@ to all those complaining about the costs - Grow up and move on

But who's the acting Prime Minister while both No 1 and No 2 are away from the island?

@Aquilina Cassar & Psaila
When is asking the means of transport used: "pessimistic; socialist; questioning-everything; shallow political mentality"

or wanting to know if extra money is spent uselessly for the personal comfort of a few persons: "SOCIALIST ARGUMENTS"

And by the way, they are "TYPICAL ARGUMENTS REPEATED AD NAUSEA" because we never get the answer and we never get to know how the taxpayers' money is spent. Shouldn't the government, during this period of financial crisis and turmoil, be more careful how money is spent?

Any question made regarding the conduct of the PN is good for you PN bloggers to attack anyone making them. If there is someone who needs to grow up that is you!!

12th January 2008 - Trichet, Barroso and all EU Prime Ministers in Malta - stating that Malta's adoption of the euro was indeed a success and a vital step for Malta's economy.

Surely it was not the vision of Dr Sant or Dr Muscat. Far from it, Mr Montebello.

I hope that next time round when Dr Muscat visits some other country, he won't make a fool of himself and our country by stating that he had access to some "secret" document....and then we found out that it's available for everyone on the internet!!!!

Labour tries very hard to give the impression that it has changed and become 'moderni u progressivi' (what does it mean by the way?!)

Yet the pessimistic; socialist; questioning-everything; shallow political mentality attitude is deeply ingrained in it's thought and way of speaking

New Labour? MY FOOT!

@P Aquilina

You are right, Sant is back and with him his old way of doing politics!

What a pity!!

TYPICAL ARGUMENTS REPEATED AD NAUSEA BY THE ALFRED SANT ADMINISTRATION;

@ Montebello, Sant, Navarro, Fleri

SOCIALIST ARGUMENTS INDEED!

GROW UP DEAR LABOUR BLOGGERS!
Franco Farrugia (on 8/1/09)
I don't think they went on sight-seeing trips,do you?
Joseph Mifsud (on 8/1/09)
EU meetings travel costs are refunded by the EU. Any other comments are superfluous!

@maria, mark, dolores
Please grow up!
Jason Montebello (on 8/1/09)
And how many others are with them!!!??? We're not paying only for Gonzi & Borg for sure!!! And who came for our euro adoption?? Do someone remember?? Is this that important??
Duncan Sant (on 8/1/09)
I wonder how Gonzi and Borg went to their respective meetings....would it be using our national carrier Air Malta, or using private jets costing thousands more?

Does anyone know? (This is not retoric, I am just wondering!)
Jesmond Navarro (on 8/1/09)
I'm in Malta, paying their blls.
Mark Fleri (on 8/1/09)
Nice to see what our tax money is contributing too
