Labour is at the crossroads!
A saga that should have been nipped in d bud by a wise Leadership!
So far, it's a mess, d doing of all those, including the yesmen within the PL, that needs to be addressed before irreparable harm is done to Labour's name as a Party that is there to protect the weak and oppressed from the strong and mighty!
The reference to "developers" is in itself alarming!

Frankie Tabone was only loyal to himself, Not to the Party, not to the leader and certainly not to his constituents who voted him in Parliament. Anglu was very loyal to the Party, loyal to his constituents and most certainly loyal to his leader. For being loyal to his leader he was sent to the gallows,.. by the leader himself. Does this tell you something about Joseph Delivers?

they have NO MORALS!
How can one trust a leader who at his own whims and pleasure shoots down/back-stab his own ‘friend’ and right-hand man?
If JM can do this to his ‘friends’ and ‘families’, then can just wonder what he would do to his opponents and ‘enemies’?
Who is next in line?

If a person is not capable of performing his tasks in the right manner in a private organisation, they are sacked. Shouldn't be any different for political parties. Anglu Farrugia was simply not up to the job in my opinion, he's way too aggressive for the sort of positive politics that JM wants
M Grima

Same old PN, always cheating. Just a few weeks ago the PN were calling Dr. Farrugia 'Inspector Cadget. Now in the space of a few weeks they are calling him a gentleman. The same happened with Mr. Mintoff when first they were calling for his crucifiction and after he voted against Alfred Sant's motion, he become their saviour.
Alfred Vassallo

There had been contacts with AF&the LP....Anglu himself confirmed it....So why did He specifically say ''No I haven't had direct contact with JM...... The question was....'regular contact between Anglu &THE PARTY'....which there was! And where was it the condition stating 'remain silent' broken?
Joe Tabone
Feb 3rd, 12:05
Alfred,
Read the articles, Anglu stated "There were only contacts through third parties".
"Joseph Muscat did (broke the agreement). He said something untrue. Contrary to what he said, I have not spoken to him since I resigned"
I remember Joseph giving the impression that he spoke to Anglu regularly and thing between them are fine -Where is the truth? I believe ANGLU!
Alfred Falzon
Feb 3rd, 14:02
D fact is that d harm done 2 Dr Ang Farrugia is now irreparable since his resignation was forced on him & not tendered 4 personal reasons.
Again, it came too late in d day, as if someone was having 2nd thoughts & suddenly decided that he should take d place of d Deputy Leader!
& an underhanded plan was concocted to oust a Labour stalwart & make of him a scapegoat!
Dirty politics that shame!

I read the whole interview. In it AF said that the PL is coming too close to big contractors and businessmen. This morning I read the headlies of a local English paper where it was revealed that a big contractor gave a large sum of money the the PN.
The more we read, the more we realise how corrupt politics have become. And, as they say 'if you touch it you will become corrupt too'. Take care!
C Pace
Feb 3rd, 12:07
Definitely not 'The more we read, the more we realise how corrupt politics have become' - dont you know anything about the BIG contractors who have been working directly and hand in hand with PN for the last 25 years?
A. Gauci Cunningham
Feb 3rd, 11:39
I don't really care much about the inner workings of the PL or the PN for that matter all I know is that Mr.Farriuga made a mess of being a deputy Leader. Everyone knows that. The PL knew that and acted accordingly and the PN knew that and had a campaign ready prepared campaign targeting Anglu. So all this "Miskin anglu" from Pieta is just a load of double-faced gibberish!

What were your remarks about d Labour Party before you decided to quit d PN and join the PL bandwagon?

Judging by the interest of the readers, this is far from a storm in a tea cup.
Dr Anglu Farrugia has a right to make his voice heard. Let us remember the Dr Farrugia was elected by the same delegates that elected Joseph Muscat - LABOUR (PL).

C. Bartoli

Anglu Farrugia was loyal to the party and loyal to JM and is not looking for attention, The only reason why he did this interview is because JM made a promise to stop Anglu from speaking but JM broke the promise.
Mr ALBERT LEONE GANADO
Feb 3rd, 11:12
In a way AF has fired a Franco style salvo into the PL engine room. He makes two serious accusations namely that the PL is cosying up to big contractors and that the grass root ideology is being abandoned. In a sense they are the same accusations Franco made to the PN. Let us trust that Joseph Muscat is better than LG in disproving them and showing that this is a reaction to anger and hurt.
C. Bartoli

Anglu Farrugia was loyal to the party and loyal to JM. Anglu Farrugia already knew that he will be removed since September yet he stayed put because the party and leader come first, whereas FD's only aim was to become a minister or prime minister because he said so and didn't give a toss about the others, just like what JM is doing, his aim is just make it to become primeminister then we see!
Joe M Borg
Feb 3rd, 11:45
Mr Leone Ganado AF made THREE allegations. You missed ONE, probably intentionally! AF indicated that Joseph didn't say the truth on a couple of occasions. 1. When he said that he STILL has good relations and contacts with AF. 2 When he ASSURED AF that he was NOT going to be sacked.
Allow me to include ANOTHER untruth! JM is stating that PN will not keep free health. Repeating the 2008 lie

This is an issue or rather a non-issue that the PN and its apologists want to harp on in order to deviate from the ultra serious issues within the PN structures. It is the prerogative of a political leader to remove anyone for the benefit of the party especially if it is returned to govt. just like it is the prerogative of a political leader in govt who to appoint ministers or not.

Anglu Farrugia is a true gentleman. We were very sad when we heard the news that Anglu was kicked out of the party. We made a big mistake and hope that it will not be regretted.

M Grima
Feb 3rd, 10:48
OK, Dr. Farrugia is sore about the position taken by Dr. Muscat , but this is how politics works. In politics you make a mistake and regrettably the good you may have done over the years goes down the gutter.
But, what distinguishes a true politician (from an opportunist) is how he is able to smother a kick, even if it comes from one of your own. I am sure Dr. Farrugia is a true politician.

As a Mosta resident, an MLP former voter turned PN since 1987 and hesitant to vote PN this time, the way Anglu has been treated illustrates that Muscat is no better than PN. I may add Muscat is even worse. One has only to read today's headlines: Muscat's argument that the MAltese are too stupid too understand a number of proposals at once and the manner he treated Anglu.

If you have forgotten, the one who said that word was TONIO FENECH, when he referred to " XI CUC MALT " ! Dr. Muscat and the PL want people to understand WELL what is being pledged .

First, when he told us that he STILL has contact with AF. Second, when he assured AF that he was NOT going to sack him. Now Joseph is saying that PN will not keep free health. Same OLD tactics of 2008 under Sant. Proved by the PN not to be true. JM is now REPEATING the same tactics!

Joseph Cauchi Senior
Feb 3rd, 09:58
Anglu Farrugia was elected as Deputy Leader by the delegates of the party. So it was the prerogative of the delegates to DISMISS him from Deputy and NOT Joseph Muscat!
Joseph Muscat BETRAYED Anglu Farrugia and also all the delegates, as he has rendered the voice of the delegates as IRRELEVANT AND USELESS!
This is Joseph Muscat.
The end justifies the means.
You could be next!

Delegates who voted for Anglu in their majority voted for Joseph Muscat as leader, a leader does what is best for his organisation(whatever it is).

Permit me to add ANOTHER comment, Henry.
'People who live in glasshouses....should always undress in the dark'. It seems that PL prefer the dark, as, according to Anglu, dear Joseph told us a lot of 'untruths', including the contact he still has with Anglu; and that Anglu was told that he was NOT going to be sacked.

Truth hurts, Edmond. Why don't YOU accept the situation as it is? Joseph didn't tell the truth about keeping contact with Anglu, and about the fact that Anglu would not be sacked!

Sometimes when you're in politics you are pushed this way or that way to obey what the party states, but some get wiser and just say enough is enough. What they did might be wrong, and will still be wrong. But the questions you should ask yourself are: Who are the puppeteers behind the scenes? Are they still the same persons then and now? Please remove the blinkers.

According to Dr Muscat PL was preparing the energy plan 3 years ago. And Dr farrugia did not know whether the price of water will be also reduced just a couple of months before the election. A deputy leader should have known this. Either he did not involve himself or Dr Muscat did not involve him or Dr Muscat lied.

Certain people complain that the PL should have removed old faces for their performance in the past. Now that Anglu Farrugia has been removed for what he said and his dismal performance in Xarabank they still criticize and see this as some sort of backstabbing. No consistency at all. If the PM had the same guts, to remove certain elements from the PN the country would have been much better off.

I have no idea what will appear in tomorrow's paper but I'll bet that the usual PN apologists are already composing their comments to the timesofmalta.com wherein they will be extolling his virtues and shedding a flood of (reptilian) tears for his political demise. To be quite frank, I don't really care either way.

@ Wally Vella-Zarb
I bet you quite frankly did not care when Franco Debono , JPO , Mulget and John Dalli were splashed ever day on the media and on One.
I believe that Anglu would be giving a better contribution than Louis Grech at the moment as he is being side lined like Konrad Mizzi, Joe Mizzi and many other from the PL camp.
I don't really care either way.

There shall be no tears I can assure you. Anglu Farrugia was a very poor quality politician, the type only Labour can offer.

Thank god he's out from the Labour Party.. He's not up to standard !!! He was like a clown on Xarabank with Dr.Simon Busuttil.
Mark Bord
Feb 2nd, 19:28
The pity is that it was PL people who made the wrong choice in the first place... so, practically, they weren't up to standard when they chose him.

Clowns are those who post stupid comments.
They leave those who understant with a smile. Just a smile. Then they move on to something more serious in their lives.
Anyway, thank you for your senseless and remarkably useless comment. Now go find something good to do in your life.

@ Elvin Agius
What a Labour Party!
It's a shame to what extent it has been betrayed by Dr Joseph Muscat and his entourage!
A Tower of Babel promising Heaven on Earth just to grab votes and taste power for the sake of power!

Political cold bloodied murder? Unfortunately the good old Nick used to say that it is better for a Prince to be feared than to be loved. And who can forget the memorable quote from House of Cards, "His deepest need was that people should like him. An admirable trait, that... in a spaniel or a whore, not, I think, in a Prime Minister."

There's no need for the show to begin as this has been going on with Franco Debon, Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando and the cherry on the cake the Oil Purchasing Scandal.

Whatever he says, there's a well-deserved good riddance, for the PL's good but especially for the country's. His appointment to a ministerial position sends shivers down my spine given his coloured career history.

Now next on the list is Tony Abela. Better watch his step.

Ha nghid wahda jien. Forsi hemm aktar min raguni wahda ghaliex anglu kellu jirezenja.
Jien ghalija r raguni principali hija l mod kif tkellem f xarabank. Fuq tad dawl u ilma ghamel flop quddiem malta kolla. Ma kienx preparat tajjeb biex jitkellem.
Kiku kont jien kont nirezenja min jeddi wara l program.
Mark Bord
Feb 2nd, 19:02
The problem is that PL were SO MUCH keeping everything to themselves (to a select few) that anybody from PL could have gone on Xarabank and end up saying the same non-sense. So, in the light of this, is it really Anglu's fault?
twanny borg
Feb 2nd, 19:05
Ma natihx tort li ma kienx preparat ghax il-kandidati tal-pl ghandhom sal-lum ma jafux il-programm ellettorali.
Salvino Zammit

Jiena wahda nghid- tefghu fl-arena, uzah u imbghad ramih- qatt ma bsart li Anglu sejjer jaqa f'din in-nassa'
Josef twieled l-bierah, gab lil Anglu mieghu biex jtih l-pariri, meta Josef ra li ma ghogbux ra kif sab il-mument biex keccih, mhux bhal ma ghamel ma Varist Bartolo- lil dan appogjah u ghadu hemm sa issa. Who's next.
Ghada naqrw It-times u nkunu nafu ahjar dak li wassal biex jitkecca.

Dwar ta' l-ilma kienet froga mill-kbar. Ghidt: dan x'qed ihawwad! Smajtu wkoll fir-Rabat fejn tkellem ferm ahjar. Nahseb jaghmel tajjeb jekk Muscat jinjorah.

For the Labour Party, obviously silence is golden.............but for the rest of Malta, it will be simply wonderful to hear what he has to say! Could your remark mean that the MLP has something to hide?
Ethelbert Schembri
Feb 2nd, 19:22
I am more than sure the PL has nothing to hide, especially on this issue !!
