As soon as the Anthony Debono (Giovanna Debono’s husband) case came to light, the PN media started publishing allegations of similar happenings occurring since March 2013, when the Labour Party came to power.

The target of the PN was and still is, Gozo Minister Anton Refalo. Yet, no proof whatsoever was provided but just hearsay.

On the day when the compilation of evidence started in the Gozo court, the PN’s deputy leader, Beppe Fenech Adami, held a press conference. He quoted a report which had been published on that same day in... you guessed it, In-Nazzjon.

That paper’s report included a picture showing a narrow stretch of a country passage which leads to fields of Nadur farmers, including government-owned fields.

Fenech Adami accusedthis government, particularly Refalo, of covering seven metres of this 150-metre long passage with concrete because Nadur farmers were having difficulty to get to their fields. In fact, the said farmers signed a declaration in this sense.

Incidentally, work on this passage had first been done in 2002 by the Nadur council whose mayor at that time happened to be Chris Said, the outgoing PN general secretary. And more work was carried out much later on that same passage, by the same Nadur council under mayor Charles Said, brother of Chris Said.

And, yet, the PN keeps trying to cast doubts also on the Commissioner of Police by asking whether he is investigating the allegation being made or not.

Just another example of how the PN’s and Simon Busuttil’s “honest politics” is working in practice – more mountains out of molehills.
