PM distracted by ‘one-horse race’ – Muscat
Rather than focus on the country’s problems, Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi was now focusing on running a one-horse race instead, Labour leader Joseph Muscat said yesterday. Speaking in Mosta, at the first of a series of Sunday political activities ahead of next month’s local elections, Dr Muscat described the contest as a mise en scène and insisted that it would only serve to increase the present uncertainty. Dr Muscat said that it was shocking that Dr Gonzi would consider his party’s own provisions, which state that a leadership election is to be held if there is a vacancy, as irrelevant, noting that if the prime minister treated his party’s rules with contempt, he would do likewise with the people. He said that Dr Gonzi’s credibility was diminishing, observing that both the EU and the IMF have shed doubt on the 2012 budget forecasts. Dr Muscat questioned the government’s claims that the effect of a €40 million reduction of the public sector’s budget would not be felt by the public. He said that this effect was already starting to be felt by local councils, who are realising that they may not be able to implement the projects they planned, adding that the effect of the budget cut will only be learnt in a piecemeal fashion.(independdent.com.mt) It is true that it is still more important to focus on cost of a country than to care for a horse race. However this may be to its importance.
Labour ‘extremists’ influencing party’s bad decisions, PM insists
The past few weeks have confirmed that Labour leader Joseph Muscat consistently makes bad decisions, and that the influence of extremists within the party had a hand in this, Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi said yesterday. During a Nationalist Party activity in Victoria, Dr Gonzi said that Dr Muscat had stated that he would not bring forward a no-confidence motion, only to change his mind after Labour “extremists” persuaded him to do so. He added that Labour’s original plan to limit debate on the motion – a “guillotine motion” in his words – dated back to the Labour Party’s worst times due to its being an attempt to gag Nationalist MPs. Dr Gonzi said that these extremists had formed part of the 1980s Labour government, and were now forming part of the party’s frontbench. He observed that while Dr Muscat acknowledged that the 1981 Labour government – elected with a majority of seats and a minority of votes – was morally wrong, he defended those who still formed part of the party, including MPs Karmenu Vella, Leo Brincat and Marie Louise Coleiro Preca and international secretary Alex Sciberras Trigona. He said that the country only underwent uncertainty because of Labour, noting that while his party explained its policy, Labour left many questions unanswered. The only certainty, he said, was that people did not want early elections and that this was not in the country’s interest.(independent.com.mt) When it comes to early elections the people are often uncertain, what is the role of its leaders to guide them towards the right path, not bickering.
Drugs case woman says she was set up by 'boyfriend'

Adela Mariana Creta, 24, arrived on a flight from Brussels in August 2009. Once the drugs, worth €41,000, were found she claimed she had no knowledge of them, Police Inspector Jesmond Borg testified.
