Justice and Home Affairs Minister Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici is in hospital for a surgical intervention. Yet, the Labour Party media, shamelessly, fabricated a story about the minister saying that Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi will make him relinquish his Cabinet seat, “mentioning health reasons as an excuse”.
How a political party can stoop so low is, honestly, beyond me. If I’m not mistaken, shortly after being appointed party leader, Joseph Muscat had appointed a committee tasked with drawing up a code of ethics for the party’s media.
He had promised an ethical party media. If the Mifsud Bonnici story is the benchmark, then Dr Muscat has failed miserably.
