Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi has expressed solidarity and sorrow with the Norwegian government and people on behalf of the government and the Maltese nation.
Norway is currently mourning the death of at least 92 people who fell victim of a bombing and shooting spree yesterday.
Dr Gonzi said these attacks were the work of those who unfortunately believed in the language of violence.
It was shameful that there were people ready to commit such cowardly attacks which left victims and families in a lot of sorry. Such acts showed that democracy had to be worked for everyday.
The Prime Minister expressed his, the government's and the Maltese people condolences.
Condolences have also been expressed by the Labour Party and its youth section.

This has nothing to do with the fact that he claims that he is Christian. The Christian faith is all about love and tolerance.
This is simple a case of the far right mentality that is anti multiculturalism and anti emigration.
Beware, these type of people exist amongst us!

The lesson we are still struggling to learn after many centuries is that we dare take nothing for granted.

"LANGUAGE of VIOLENCE"
Are'nt those whom you helping to BOMB LIBYA , maim and kill street walkers, beleive in VIOLENCE ??
Is it not shamefull and cowardice for the institutions and leaders to attack / bomb LIBYA ??
NORWAY offered and it's operating daily bombardments on LIBYA, others are respecting their
orders to help in the illegal act against our neighbours. We expect any retaliation

It had nothing to do with Libya... and Libya is a war, violence is expected in a war environment. Unless you are trying to justify what happened in Norway, you don't really have many points to bring forward so I suggest stopping.

My dear friend you are mixing gas with cucumber ... this does not have any thing to do with LIBJA.. and in any case , I do not think that LIBJA case is a wrong undertaking of most of the world comunity. Freedom of people is a right and not a nessesity, all people in the world MUST have the right to choose who rules them , the era of dictatorship is over . No country is property of a personal family , it is the property of the people and for the people to rule through democraticaly elected leaders, at the will of the people.

Your apologia for the violent repression of the Libyan Dictatorship in the context of 98 murdered innocent people is an obscenity.
