No luxury to concentrate just on internal matters - PM

Alfred J. McEwen

No luxury to concentrate on internal matters Dr. Gonzi ? How dare you come out with a statement like that when your salary is paid for by tax payers money to look after the interests of the country that INCLUDES internal affairs. And is not the illegal immigration issue a Number One Priority ? You and your party are allowing this tiny country to be swamped by illegal immigrants by your inaction, and you will go down in history as that gutless politician that let this country`s society down. It is a fact that you know too well that the UK and Europe want no part in ``burden sharing`` so why don`t you start a policy of repatriating illegal immigrants back to their country of origin instead of pandering to the EU for handouts. We voted for EU membership and seemingly got the African Union in return. This is a great concern for our country Prime Minister, and you certainly cannot blame the nation for being preoccupied with it.

This is crazy. The prime minister is stating that he does not intend to call an early election because that would mean he is irresponsible so why all these billboards invading our roads? The only justification I can find to this is that probably he's not aware of what's going on!

Allura ir-rezenja ta JPO tfisser li issa ssolva kollox fi hdan il-PN? Skond il-PM issa jidher li kollox issetija u ma ghad fadal xejn inkwiet. Issa jidher li Gonzi bil fisazzjoni tieghu li jibqa mas siggu dahhal fi sqaq li ma jinfitx lilu nifsu, l-PN u ghar min hekk lill pajjiz.

"Dr Gonzi said that the Opposition leader was promising everything to everyone behind closed doors. He challenged him to declare in the open what these promises were and said the PN would not allow Dr Muscat to play the game that had been played by Alfred Sant before the 1996 election."---------------------Dan bis-serjeta jew ! ghada friska friska tigi konfermata kemm kellu ragu ASANT l-elezjoni li ghaddiet fuq tal-MISTRA u kif b b'mod makjavelluz mexxew il-JPO u dahku b'kulhadd u jigi jghid dawn il-kummenti ..................u hallina !

Gonzipn is more eager to be there when inaugurating the valletta doorless entry and the roofless theatre than any other reason.That is sure.He is glued to his seat, IHe is sure of a P.N. loss hence what I wrote in the preceding sentence. But Dr. J. Muscat has promised to invite Gonzi all the same to inaugurate the entrance to Valletrta and the roofless theatre.

Gonzi has been say that internal issues have been resolved ever since these issue kept cropping up. Does he realy think that now the final chapter has been closed. I wonder and truly believe that the sequal is still about to start.

More like he wants to reap the benefits till the end.

1. Gone-zi mudslinging PL, due to (as he claims), promises to evryone...lol...and what did the PN do...lets see, tax cuts, hunters, Airmalta workers, farmers, fisherman,

2. Waiting for the right time...lol...did they tell PL that they had a mandate by the people to serve for 5 years and not 22 months way back in the 1996-1998 legislature?

3. Important legislations are soon to be approved by parliament...lol...which parliament...the one with 2 PN MPs one of which does not want to support the govt unless Austin Gatt resigns...and another independent MP?

Gone-ze just wants to hang on a few more days...just to have managed to (1) milked the cow to the max...& (2) to impliment the last minute promotions, pjaciri, maybe a decent pre election hunting season, maybe a tax cut in the last budget...and a few other pre election gimicks...

Gone-zi...do you really believe we are that stupid...

& I am no PL supporter...in fact until I was fooled by this govt...I was a hard core Pn voter...this time round I enjoyed not paying my tessera...will enjoy voting PL...but this not because I became labourite...but simply through revenge for the 'clique' that Gone-zi Pn has become.

@ Sinjuri D. Sandman, Chasrles Falzon, S. Scerri,

Huwa l-partit Lejburista fil-gvern li għandu storja kera ta’ għemilu.

Huwa l-Partit Lejburista fil-gvern li ħaddem lil-Maltin taħt dixxiplina militari fil-korpi tax-xogħol bil-paga minima, biex ħeba l-problema tax-xogħol f’ Malta taħt il-gvern lejburista tas-sebgħinijiet u t-tmeninijiet!

Kien il-gvern lejburista li iffriża il-pagi għall tmien snin sħaħ!

Il-Partit Lejburista Progressive taħt Joe Muscat għadu jiftaħar b’dawk iż-żminijiet tal-mistrija tal-gvernijiet Lejburisi!

Allura mhux bilfors ma tistax tafdakom li ma tagħmlux l-istess, jekk Alla ħares qatt xi darba tkunu fil-gvern!
Allura għandi jien raġun li ngħid lill poplu Malti u Għawdxi biex ma jafdax lill-tal-Lejber bid-destin ta’ Malta u l-Maltin u l-Għawdxin!

Imma jafdaw lill-Prim Ministru Lawrence Gonzi bi’ Gvern Nazzjonalista, li jiggarantilek xogħol u xogħol ta’ dinjita, fil-paċi u s-sliem!

U mhux il-wegħdi firħa u bla ebda garanzija ta’ Joseph Muscat u l-Partit Lejburista!

Mela ħsiebek hemm poplu Malti u Għawdxi u lill tal-Lejber tafdahom qatt u qatt!

Alan Montanaro

Jul 21st 2012, 19:27

Call an election? Not call an election?
It seems to me that the call for early elections is merely intended to unseat the PM. Or maybe the intention is to elect a new government. But what about the bigger picture that should be concerning EVERYBODY?
Until the electoral manifestos are published (including implementation plans) there an election can't be called - or we'd all be voting blind.

One comment - Malta’s worst ever PM .

Andre Grech

Jul 21st 2012, 18:56

I would like to understand what people mean by uncertainty. A country that elects democratically a government for five years and that has a good economy or an economy that competes well with the best countries in the world will still attract investment even though one of the parties has internal problems. So let's say the party in the opposition has a few MPs that disagree with each other and this party is favorite to win the election. Should investors not come to Malta because in the future we will have a shaky government. There are much more serious matters people look at before investing in a country. Malta has had and will keep having strong governments and a good economy cos we are small. And thanks to this if we will have another intelligent government with good people on board investment keeps coming in.

Andre Grech

Jul 21st 2012, 18:49

And the labour supporters keeps asking Gonzi to listen to the people and call an election. How does anyone know what the majority of the population wants? Just because some news article says that it doesn't mean it's the desire of the majority. Or are we going to start electing governments on what the survey says at that point in time? Calling the prime minister to call an election is stupid. So what's going to happen if the PL wins the election and a year later the survey shows JM has lost his popularity. Will the same people ask JM to call a snap election. And if the PN wins the election again? Will these people call on the government to resign because it's illegitimate? Stop it guys. A government is elected for 5 years and it should govern for 5 years.

One can comprehend the youthful ambition of someone eager to be the leader. One can also comprehend that a person in power, especially for a long time, would find it hard to hand over the powers enjoyed for long. Doesn't take a clever person to know which one is worse.

"No luxury to concentrate just on in internal matters" - Good,at last. So you got that finally, Prime Minister :)

My question is, what are you going to do so as not to concentrate just on in internal matters please? Do you really believe that you can concentrate on other important issues for the people, and start taking decisions again in Parliament?

"..........it had created 20,000 jobs and 20,000 students had graduated from Mcast and the University ..."

He forgot to mention the thousands of euros he gave himself and his cabinet by adding the honoraria to the ministerial job and the €500 per week wage increase since 2008 which add up to at least €96,000 since 2008.

As regards "...obtaining results...." what more do we need to know, what results is he talking about?
The national debt going up to €.5.4 billion from €4.3 billion.?
The deficit that was supposed to be turned around into a surplus as he promised before the 2008 elections.?
The constant ear pulling from the EU on various matters because either gonzipn did not implement them or provided wrong data?
The failure of AirMalta?
What results Mr gonzi? Please do explain.

I guess some apologist on TOM will ?

Dr Alfred Sant is an honest politician who does not play games and does not mince his words. However it was clear that he won the general election of 1996 because he promised he would freeze Malta's application to the EU. The Maltese were not ready for the necessary changes to join the EU at the time, DR Sant grabbed this opportunity to use it as ammunition to win the election. He won the election but his MPs and Ministers soon started to desert his party and only survived 22 months. Although the EU now is in disarray I don't think we could have afforded to remain a 'Svizzera fil-Mediterran' at that time.

Joseph Sammut

Jul 21st 2012, 16:56

Dr. Gonzi, we are constantly being fed what you politicians want us to believe. However, from where I stand it looks like:

a) you have lost credibility as a sound prime minister (surely we did not vote for that);
b) your seemingly fixation to not call an immediate election, despite the people's voice (labourites and nationalists), is becoming to look like a spite story against the PL;
c) technically you may remain in power, but you are ignoring the people.

We are weary of all this; can't you listen to what we are saying. We don't want you to be pushed around by the likes of JPO and FD. The situation clearly calls for a fresh start to clear the present unacceptable situation - stinks like a sewer pit. Please do the right thing by your people - forget NP or LP - I think on this one we are united - election please.

joseph spiteri

Jul 21st 2012, 16:45

JPO HAS RESIGNED.
Now Dr. Gonzi do you really have the say in Paliament?
Are you now a Beggar and a Chooser?
You are finished. Help the people by calling an Election.
Your thinking of jobs and education have been only a dream in
your mind. You and your Ministers have failed and you have to
show responsabilities for your behaviour.
Don't forget the 650 Euros you and your Cabinet have gained
these past years. Others have only collected cents.
This is how you treat the people. Don't talk Bullshit about JOBS AND EDUCATION.

The Nationalist governments of the past 25 years have trusted this island into a era of prosperity, progress and a standard of living which matches that of more prosperous European countries. Labour governments of the 70s, 80s and 96 did try but did not manage to get anywhere close. The socialist and collectivist economic policies have immersed this island in a sea of mediocrity and poor performance. By the end of their outrageous era the socialist left behind a legacy of political dereliction renowned for beggar politics. What a shame and how inefficient have the socialist been!

No wonder the Nationalist have won practically all of the elections of the last 25 years. There is no place for the socialist regime in malta anymore. The so called new movement is afraid to clarify its belief and objectives as the Nationalist have the mettle and political superiority to reduce their challenge when these are flimsy and inarticulate policies.

Dr.Gonzi

... do you remember when you ran the one man election some months ago ... wasn't that a luxory?

.. do you remember how you had to take almost 6 months to get the budget money bill aproved from parliament. wasn't that a waste of time?

.. you now need to justify with John Dalli, who was hacking his emails from within your own party. Maybe the people involved are those filling you in with lies of what us people want and what's best for the PN party? Isn't this luxory too?

Can't you understand that most business men, PN supporters and floating voters are fed up with your internal conflicts and want a fresh start with a new PN or PL government? Can't you see that the majority want fresh elections?

If you don't see all these things then you are really living in another planet. But I know that you realize this and you are playing for time because you know that it's almost impossible to win next election. But a real gentleman would at least loose with dignity!!!

Aktar ma dr Gonzi jitkellem, aktar ma jkunx konvincenti. L-ewwel net qal li iridu jghaddu ligijiet ghax importanti. Gonzi ilu hemm minn 2008, allura issa saru urgenti dawn il-ligijiet? Kemm ilna nitkelmu fuq il Whistleblower Act? Qal li issa la telaq JPO, l-inkwiet intern fil PN spicca. Mela JPO biss kien qieghed jaqla l-inkwiet? Xi nghidu ghal Franco Debono li ikkonferma li mhux se jappoggja lil-gvern jekk Austin Gatt jibqa parti mil-kabinet. U xi nghidu ghal mugliette? Il-problemi ma dawn it-tnejn issolvew?
Qal li jinteressah l impiegi. Ahjar jara l-impieg prekarju li hawn u bl incertezza li gab fil-pajjiz jista jizdied il qaghad. U tahseb int li Dr.Muscat ma jinteressahx l - impiegi. Veru qieghed jiltaqa ma businessmen bhal ma huwa d-dmir tieghu. Jew anki din issa qieghda iddejqu lil Gonzi? Il prim ministru irid ikun jaf xe jaghmel il partit Laburista. Haga wahda il poplu jejdlek Dr Gonzi - sejjah elezzjoni u PL jippublika l-programm elettorali. Jekk int konvint li se tirbah ghax min ghalik int u shabek il-ministri ghamiltu hafna gid, aktar ma ghalfej ikolkom biza li tmorru quddiem il poplu. Tajjeb ta min isemmi li l opinjoni pubblika hija li l-ahjar haga ghal pajjiz fic-cirkostanzi hija elezzjoni generlali immedjata. imma donnou l prim ministru l akbar gost tieghu l jmur kontra l-kurrent.

If we are doing so well, if these internal problems are a closed chapter and if you have the county's interest at heart, what is holding you to call a snap election? Just to sound nice Dr. Gonzi is reminding us that a couple of important laws need to be enacted before the end of this legislature, but did it have to take him 4 1/2 years to legislate the cohabitation and IVF bills. And what about the much talked about Whistle Blowers act which Dr. Gonzi also mentioned, but again, not delivered as promised.

Dear PM, change the recording. We have been hearing too much about the 20,000 jobs and the EU, about which you boast so much, has made it clear you that it is not a reliable statistic. Most of us Maltese believe that "the end does not justify the means." We are on our knees and sliding into bankruptcy!

One other thing, please: Which 'internal matters' do you mean? You do not have the luxury to concentrate on just the internal matters of your party and those close to it, but you do! An that's what the problem is for our country!

John Mifsud

Jul 21st 2012, 15:40

All this confirms that Dr Lawrence Gonzi is completely cut off from the man/woman in the street, and is comfortably living in an ivory tower, which is run by his acolytes.

It is a real shame that this prime minister has to end his political life so disastrously, and thus leaving a divided party which is finding itself in a quandary.

Dr Gonzi is dangerously treading in a quagmire, and I believe that Malta's economy and its people will feel the repercussions at a later stage.


The dyke is leaking from many sides and it is only a matter of time that Dr Gonzi may realise to call it a day.

In the meantime, Pandora's Box is about to explode. But then the haemorrhage in the PN Party will be so great that it will be impossible to avoid the biggest flop in the next general elections.

It's true that he has the prerogative to decide on election date but he is being to paternalistic! Keep it up dr. Gonzi! With your obsessive behaviour to remain PM you led the party and moreover the country into a lane with a stagnated economy due to uncertainty created by your stubborness.

Internal matters do send out meaningful messages to the electorate, and PN, PL and, to a lesser extent, the insignificant AD, are already showing signs of the shape of things to come...

The PN is hardly credible when it is a question of equal justice for all...scapegoats galore!

The same can be said for the revamped PL with potential candidates practically being classified as:
- star candidates
- prominent candidates
- second-class candidates
TV chats and talk-shows are enough to watch and reach this conclusion!

As for AD, we have had the latest of so-called "vote-catching" slogans: voting rights for sixteen-year olds!

Indeed, the world is a circus!

And Malta is no exception!

Dr Gonzi.. The harder you try your guts out to show a supposedly `Bright` picture of the present political situation in Malta when everybody knows it is aboslutely NOT the case, the more you are burying yourself in the sand, and `hurting` the local economy.

JPO, with his strong `conditional` agreement with you has put you and your rest of your parlamentary group, in a `strait-jacket` to say the least. Meaning that you just cannot go to parlament with a `freely state of mind` to do and say what you want, prior to get JPO`s `Blessings`..!!

Thus your next most credible and honorable move is to call an immediate general election, to once and for all, put to an end, this very grievous political and economical instability.

The sooner that Prime Minister Gonzi realises that prolonging the agony of his government is going to aggravate the Nationalist Party's lot at the next elections the better. Is there anyone within the Nationalist Party who can impress on Dr Gonzi that by his intransigence to carry on the full term of hisandate is causing more harm than good to the Nationalist Party. It seems that Dr Gonzi has ears only to those who are misguided enough to believe that the longer they stay they can 'buy' enough votes to turn the tides of fortune in favour of the PN. They never had it so wrong.

When Lawrence Gonzi mentions the majority of the people gave him a mandate for 5 years, does he really believe that the people told him that he could do whatever he pleases throughout those 5 years ? They only gave him a mandate to do WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE ELECTORAL PROGRAMME ! Certainly they never told Gonzi to ABOLISH SUBSIDIES ON ELECTRICITY , which he did ! Nor to take €500 per week rise, nor to build a new parliament or a roofless theatre , or a bridge to nowhere etc..etc..

Dr. Gonzi also knows that HE HAD LOST THE PEOPLE'S TRUST just a few months after stealing the election. And has also lost the majority of MPs, now official !!

Dr. Gonzi if you had iota of integrity left, Dr. Gonzi if you had an iota of decency left, Dr. Gonzi if you love this little Nation whose people had entrusted you to lead it as long has you had the majority and the support of Parliament. Call an election without delay.

No Sir, you were not given a mandate to govern for the full term. You were given a mandate to govern with a majority, which now you do NOT have. Failing to do so you would continue to drag our once proud country into a Third World Status, which we did not even have under Colonial rule.

John Azzopoardi

I love this...........Gonzi must realize that he gets elected by the Maltese and not by Brussels. There are many issues that he should be raising in the country that must be and should only be addressed by him at the national leve. One of these issues is the illegal migration issue which hugely impacts our national security, identify and culture. Allowing thousands of illegal migrants into our country - black and white - should not be allowed and the prime minister must have a policy to stop this nonsense.

The Prime Minister would best serve the people of Malta by going to the polls. Everything else is irrelevant. He should realise the damage being caused to society as a whole and the return to animosity and hate which the extension of this political farce will provoke. At least Alfred Sant was man enough to call it a day when faced with a dissident MP and with over three years of his term yet to go. Yet the PM persists in his obstinacy to the detriment of the Maltese People......and to that of his own Party in the long run.

If the PN wants to make some headway from now to election day, and maybe reduce the party popularity gap from 12% to say 8%, somebody should tell Dr Gonzi to make less public speeches and live interviews and just base their election campaign on press releases prepared by their two expert spin gurus, RCC and Austin Gatt. Otherwise by autumn Gonzi's foot will become all mushy with it permanently stuck in his mouth.

Is this a taste of what is to come should J< become PM?

Or is it simply that JM needs a break from JPOS, Debono and Mugliette?

You sure can talk the talk, but on the other hand, it is more than sure that you can't walk the walk, specially when it comes to put in practice what you have promised us, the men on the street, but the motto 'FLIMKIEN KOLLOX POSSIBBLI' was only said for the boys and girls with blue eyes, with jobs that cost our country millions of Euros, while we are struggling to make ends meet at the end of the month.
