During a press conference held these last days at San Anton Palace, President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca presented an amount of Epatite C valued at €1.2 million to Parliamentary Secretary Chris Fearne. This medicine is to be given to cancer patients free of charge.

It is admirable how much energy and initiative President Coleiro Preca is putting in to help cancer patients alleviate their suffering, medically and financially, as much as possible.

She is doing her utmost to collect funds for the Community Chest Fund. Likewise it is a shame about the amount of money being forked out by the government in hefty salaries and extraordinary pay packets to certain individuals, not because of their meritocracy but because they happen to be of a certain clan.
