The Labour Party is committed to strengthening education and health services while safeguarding the environment, the people's quality of life and affirming its commitment to democracy, social justice and dignity. This would be done through an economic policy based on optimism and the people's ability to overcome problems and by creating more jobs.
This is basically the mantra Alfred Sant is reciting each time he meets the press. Nice promises that can easily be accepted by every Tom, Dick and Harry on this island.
Perhaps the journalists present should have asked him how would the Labour Party (with his recent bad track record) go about to materialise these dreams?
If Dr Sant did not accept any questions from the press, then it should have been reported.
The title of the article of his visit to the Marsa Republic monument (of Dom Mintoff's glorious era) should have been Dr Sant's Promises, Again.
