Debono is ready to meet with PM
Door to discussion is open, says Gonzi
Nationalist backbencher Franco Debono yesterday said he was prepared to meet the Prime Minister to try to find a way out of the political impasse.
“I never had any problem meeting the Prime Minister,” the rebel MP told The Sunday Times, though he refused to give a guarantee he would vote with the government throughout this legislature.
The last time the 37-year-old lawyer held a meeting with the Prime Minister was on January 22, days before he abstained from a vote of no-confidence in the government.
His decision prompted Lawrence Gonzi to seek re-election as Nationalist Party leader. Amid calls for radical constitutional reforms, Dr Debono insisted that the Prime Minister has to rid himself of what he described as a “clique”.
With the Labour Party and Alternattiva Demokratika calling for an early election, The Sunday Times asked Dr Debono whether he was prepared to meet the Prime Minister.
“The ball is surely not in my court. The decisions are to be taken by the Prime Minister now,” he said yesterday.
He said as far as he was concerned there were no mediators in the matter, and the situation never warranted one.
However, he added that “in any case, the Prime Minister knows he can, and I prefer that he communicates with me directly, whenever he needs to do so.”
Asked whether he was willing to meet the backbencher, Dr Gonzi said the door to discussion was and remains always open. “We can find constructive solutions that are in the best interest of the country,” he told The Sunday Times.
Dr Debono said the feedback he had received was that he still enjoyed wide support in his electoral district and everyone appeared to have dissociated themselves from a petition which was calling for his resignation from Parliament.
He added he was on very good terms with most parliamentary colleagues.
The backbencher said the parameters for an eventual solution lie in constitutional reforms, the dignity of parliament, and the established and accepted political practices of western democracies.
“It is ironic that there will be this leadership ‘thing’, after the Prime Minister admitted mistakes and as a consequence calls for political reforms and new political practices, and yet this will all happen while political parties themselves remain the most unregulated bodies at Maltese law.”
He said the situation cannot be solved if those who were responsible for the mistakes and failures admitted by Dr Gonzi did not resign and remained advising him. Dr Debono refused to give a guarantee he would vote with the government, ensuring it can run its term until 2013.
“I can guarantee respect for the Constitution and the people of Malta according to the oath I had taken on becoming MP and as I have always done so far, to the best of my abilities.”

'We can find constructive solutions that are in the best interest for the country '
One such solution could be, that they both RESIGN ? ........ surely ,that is what EACH ONE DEMANDED of the other, as the prime solution to the Parliamentary Crisis !
Dr. Debono even stressed that he was willing to work with anyone else , except Dr, Gonzi as PM !

@Joseph Abdilla:
Your argument is completely wrong. You said that you collected more signatures then he got votes. He had got 2,065 1st count votes. The other PN candidates together got almost 7000 votes so PN got close to 9000 votes in all.
In the district there are close to 25,000 votes in total
So lets say you collected 4,000 signatures mostly from people who had voted for other candidates in the last election... That means that 5,000 PN voters did not sign! That also means that since we have the secret ballot around 20,000 voters of the fifth district did not sign!
In any case why was the petition never presented, maybe YOU can tell us? What argument are you making??
By the way…is it true that they even asked people who are not registered in the fifth district to sign? Even if you collected signatures twice the amount of votes that Franco Debono got in the last election, it means that you failed miserably and that is why the petition never saw the light of day.

The Franco Debono saga is still on and it is the tip of the iceberg.GonziPN is still banking on what he thinks is the ignorance of the electorate.The intimidation tactics being used for people of my age is not new as Archbishop Gonzi His uncle used to do in the 60s.This can be seen also when the divorce issue was being debated The people are not ignorant any more and the church and other establishments should stop using the political affiliation they have with the PN

There is no electorate more ignorant than an electorate which does not want to listen, refuses to see things in the right perspective or a naive electorate which believes electricity tariffs can be lowered without taxes going up and services drastically cut. Subsidizing electricity rates, encourages consumption, increases the carbon footprint and flies in the face of the very same people who complain that the government was not proactive enough in environmental matters.
If Debono wants to meet with the PM (or vice versa) such a meeting should be at the PM's pleasure and definitely after he receives an unprecedented vote of confidence by the party delegates. The stronger the PM's hands are, the more likely Franco will finally realize that his voice has become one like an ass's bray which the Maltese adage says 'never reached heaven'.
The people are not ignorant any more, most likely thanks to Nationalist administrations which put education in the forefront and not regarded computers as means of 'dulling students' minds'. It is for this reason that the up and coming generation leans towards the NP for security of their future and a guarantee that more good jobs will be available for them when they graduate. The days of 'eking a living' or 'having just enough to get by' are over and relegated to the 70s and 80s.
So, wake up Mr Zammit, open your eyes, swallow some misguided pride and smell the roses.

Dr. Gonzi is not your puppet Dr. Debono. He is a gentleman. You on the other hand had all the opportunity to meet the PM before the infamous vote and yet you refused. You are still, and will remain, a threat to Parliament and its stability. You are still a self-pumped egoistic, helped by certain journalists who should really seek to unearth the real reasons behind your behaviour and who almost turned you into a national hero, all because you are a "prominent criminal lawyer". You committed a political suicide and you wanted to bring down with you the whole government. You let yourself being used by the PL and its little Elves on this blog and on other sites. You did all this because you are a power-hungry person who thinks that to be a minister today should be based on a form 2 exam report and on meritocracy. Truly the PM is a gentleman, when he has hundreds of emails and messages from you and which he never published, just because he is a gentleman. We might assume what you wrote to the PM in those messages and you are probably afraid he will publish them because they bring out the real you. Hallina De. Debono. You should resign and not go about now trying to patch things up. You did a lot of harm to the Party that gave you the opportunity to be in your seat in Parliament!

As if GonziPN really wants to talk about anything with Franco Debono. GonziPN is just playing the part of the good and understanding Prime Minister who is accepting the antics of Franco Debono in the same way that he would accept the naughtiness of a mischievous child. But GonziPN and his clique are not understanding and nor are they good in any way and Franco Debono is no child. I am sure that GonziPN and his infamous trio - Saliba/RCC/Austin - have already concocted some machiavellian way to get rid of Debono.

It's a good thing we have an opposition who actually does its work instead of criticising members of parliament on personal issues as the PN members do. As for those that say that Franco Debono wasted time drawing the attention of the public to whom they are getting ripped off by, I'm sure you're not among those who use Arriva or have trouble to make ends meet ... or maybe Gonzi PN just can't handle the truth!
M Grima
Feb 12th, 12:38
Today after Dr. Debono's boasting of a couple of weeks ago that he will vote with the opposition's vote of no confidence and his previous statements of not towing the PN's line were it concerned the BWSC shameful contract and the Arriva disaster, nobody gives a hoot of what you say. If you were a serious politician you would action what you preach and not to back up when pressurised by your own tribe.
YOU ARE NOT CREDIBLE DR. DEBONO, AND THAT'S A FACT

Keep on taking us, ad nauseam, to prehistoric history.
Why don't you draw parallel to more recent history ie Dr Sant's realm.

If Our Prime Minister and Dr Debono are talking , shows that both of them are willing to move and find a solution!
Isnt what normal people should do? Who doesnt squabble? Can anyone here, who find it so easy to criticise , can face us all and declare that they never had a serious argument in their lives with their parents ? Their husbands? Their wives? The greatness in a man is the capability to search for bridges and common ground.
There has never been a Prime Minister of any country who did not face such problems!
Of course it is up to the person to be prudent. I do not wish to compare with Dr Sant. But I think that Our beloved President Dr George Abela has been proved right in many ways.
When Our Prime Minister proposed Dr George Abela as President of Malta , labour hailed it as a victory.
Yes it was a victory because our Prime Minister was 100% democratic in his wise choice. labour never had the courage to thank him for such a move. I wonder if any ex labour prime ministers would have done such looking back into history.
The Prime Minister is to be admired for his prudent moves and I am sure he is respected even by his opponents for being calm and very strong to move in such a precarious time.

Firstly I disagree with The times of malta. Why do you call Dr. Debono a Rebel. By the same measure, you should give an appropriate name to a prime minister who is, like Dr. Debone said, either being held back by a few elite and powerful in this country or ineffective.
Dr Debono is a reformist and I feel that the Times should have enough experience to recognize this. You are doing Dr Debono a disservice when you spread this via your respected newspaper.
Secondly I respect the opinion of DeMartino but I disagree. Noting would have happened in the NP party unless Dr.Debono took this stand. Please tell me who would have moved things so effectively unless someone like Dr. Debono took this stance. Tell me who. You or me? Raqdu Sur DeMartino.
Unless things change, people like me who have been brought up to be good listeners and neither blue nor red. would have no choice but to vote labour.
How can you agree about what happend with the power station decision - which all of us will suffer now - and which has slowly but steadily been put under the carpet. The power station was even the reason why our financial health status was down graded; did you read this, since was surprised when I read it in The Time. Yet, No One is ever asked to resign!
Unacceptable becasue now all have learned that they can do it - Now there are ministers which we cannot stand on TV same as when I remember seeing labour ministers which we could not stand on TV either 25 years ago. These people must go.
I and many are not angry or anything like so becasue all you have to do is watch what we are doing to Greece and how we have sold solidarity down the river since not even France could persuafe Germany that this is not the way farward.
Unless Gonzi turns this into an opportunity, sweep the people Dr Debono refers too s(ince we all know who they are) and decides to impliment and resolve the many serious issues which Dr.debono rightly mentions repeatedly;- many of us will have no option but to just vote for a Xkupa Gdida.
So either Gonzi does it now using his par idejn soda, or else we wiil have no choice. We will do it for him by voting lab.
Joseph Calleja
Feb 12th, 16:05
Franco Debono is a political rebel and thank God for that. He managed to upset the ugly nest of the GonziPN and bring to light the incompetence of some of his Ministers. I do not agree with Dr Franco Debono abstaining from voting but I do agree that Dr Franco Debono makes some valid points in his objections on how the government is being run and by whom. The " clique" as he calls it, has to go and so far Dr Gonzi seems to be holding on to those few incompetent Ministers that are responsible for most of the damage. When the Times of Malta called Dr Franco Debono a Rebel it is a political compliment at best.

The Pm had the final say so when he decided to go ahead with City Gate and The Topless Opera House. Both projects were turned down by the citizens and yet he continued on. The PM had his final say so when he realized the incompetence of Transport Malta and the Infrastructure Minister and publicly said, quote " The buck stops here " Well at least we are seeing a bit of improvement in that department. But what about the incompetence of Enemalta? What about the incompetence of the Financial Minister responsible for the demise of Air Malta. The only compromise there is a bail out of 200,000,000 M euros ( two hundred million euros) out of the TAX PAYERS money. The buck did not stop there for sure.

I have been criticizing Franco from the very beginning. I did not criticize his views, but I did criticize the way he presented them. Yes, the final decision rests with whoever happens to be the PM. It HAS to be like that. You cannot have 34 prime ministers. Even if Franco was 100% right, he could not expect PM worthy of his name to to do what he, Franco, wanted. Because suppose A wants a roofless theatre, B wants a blockmof buildings instead, C wants shops.....so what? Yes, Franco can be an asset, provided he follows the rules A final word to ALL THOSE who are backing \Franco: When the GREAT MINTOFF did what he did to Alfred \Sant what did you say then.Did you agree with the way he presented his case? The way he tried to ridicule HIS Prime minister? You need not ask me. Here is my answer. I was pleased that Mintoff created so many problems because he helped us dump the inefficient labour administration. Because it was the electorate that returned a PN govt in 1998 with more than 13000 votes majority, but I do admire Alfred Sant who refused to be blackmailed my Mintoff. And is there any one single person who believes that Mintoff did what he did because of his love for the worker? Are you so naive?

I bet that the first minister who will tender his resignation will be Dr Austin Gatt, not because he will admit his mistakes but because he is needed to run the PN Propaganda Machine at Pieta. LOL

This guy is really making a farce out of the Prime Minister and PN. Isn't it about time to cut him loose? Dr Fenech Adami would never have tolerated such behaviour.

Two simple questions Mr. Muscat:
Have you lost interest because elections does't seem so near after all? Therefore ...
Why didn't your include PL ( MLP) also to treat us with some respect, and just keep people like you hoping that TOMORROW Dr. Joseph Muscat will be Prime Minister ...by default !!!?

@ Joe Calleja
Your conclusions are so incorrect.
I always voted PN. This time I have already decided that I will not vote since I am not happy with Muscat's alternative and I am also unhappy with our PN's messing around. Are you certain about Franco's and the PN's future?? I guess not......
