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”.

He had promised an ethical party media. If the Mifsud Bonnici story is the benchmark, then Dr Muscat has failed miserably.
