The report on parliamentary proceedings on September 29 quoted the Labour leader as saying that “Despite criticism he had met persons from the opposition, including the present President (then Deputy Leader of the Malta Labour Party) to find a way out of the impasse that the country was going through (in the 1996-98 legislature).” It has to be pointed out that Dr Muscat explicitly referred to the situation in the 1980s.

He pointed out that Prof. de Marco had the courage to meet with high ranking officials from the Labour Party (then in government) and even with the then President of the Republic, to find a way out of the impasse.

He added that it is shameful that some people took exception to such efforts to bring the country together.
