TMID Editorial: Abela’s establishment contradictions

latest comment from Angus Black, 24/05/2024 15:08:Abela is a product of a political party built on lies, fraud, violence and spite to the extent of calling Mintoff, once named as 'is-Salvatur', a Traitor to boot, and banned him from entering the Centru Nazzjonali Laburista for 14 long years. Truth is, that the PL can never be proud of their leaders from Mintoff down to Abela as three have been tainted with scandals and/or violence, and one even froze Malta's application to join the EU as a full member. And this not to include KMB who was prime minister when arguably, the most violent acts took place. Abela is running out of places to hide and excuses that hold water, and he is visibly shaken, unable to convince his own faction, appears tired, and confused, and evidently desperate to the point of hysteria.
