On May 13, Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi told the gathering of GonziPN supporters at Safi that last week “was a good one for Malta”.

Barely had he ended his speech that we got to know that the European Commission has serious doubts on the sustainability of the government’s deficit.

The Commission made it obvious that it was not believing the figures which Dr Gonzi and his Finance Minister often boast about.

On May 15, The Times carried a report which said that according to the European Parliament’s EU-wide Health Consumer Index, Malta still stays “in the low end (23rd position of 34 European countries) with a system lacking in transparency, weak patient rights and mediocre medical outcomes”.

It seems that Dr Gonzi had spoken too soon!
