PN MP Franco Debono has once again warned Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi that he has no majority in Parliament and that unlike former MLP Leader Dr Alfred Sant, who did “the right thing”, Lawrence Gonzi is a “dictator”.
In his latest blog entry on Tuesday morning, entitled “Bl-Imgħarfa” (Spoon-fed), Franco Debono says “Since the Prime Minister is clinging to power to such an extent that he has become politically dumb and he does not want to see and listen, I will spoon-feed him: Stop wasting this country’s time and the Maltese people’s time. You have degenerated into a coalition government. You don’t have a majority in Parliament. I am telling you in the clearest of ways.”
The Nationalist backbencher reminded that he had already warned he won’t support PM Gonzi with Minister Austin Gatt in the Cabinet and told PM Gonzi to ask Manwel Delia and Lou Bondi to support him instead in Parliament.
“If this support is not forthcoming, remember that Christmas is approaching and thus take your decisions now. Stop procrastinating,” he told the Prime Minister. Franco Debono said Alfred Sant “did the right thing” and accused PM Gonzi he “doesn’t have the faintest idea of how to be a gentleman, and is behaving like small boy using the people as toys. Only dictators do so. Who does he think he is?” concludes the PN MP.

Bil-hiliet kollha tieghek kellek titlaq minn Malta biex tahdem ma' kellekx il-hila ssib fejn tahdem Malta ghax il-Gvern tieghek ma' holoqx postijiet tax'xoghol, gejt eziljat bhas-snin Sittinijiet.
Ic-cikkulata qieghed issemmi, l-iktar jekk il-genituri hadu xi bicca art tal-gvern, li kienet tinghata b'xejn. Il-gvern Laburista halla LM400miljun fil-kaxxa fl-1987. F'sitt snin damdamtuhom u tfajtuna f'dejn li Alla wahdu jaf meta forsi jithallas.
Iftah mohhok tinshiex li int eziljat mill-Gvern tieghek!!!!

- Tue 25-Sep-2012, 22:50Nigudikaw lil DR GONZIPN fuq it-tberbiq bla razan, tal-finanzi tal-pajjiz minn flus it-taxxi tal-poplu Malti u Ghawdxi,li jghamlu parti mil-korruzjoni istituzjonalizata gewwa dawn il-gzejjer huma taxxi addizjonali fuq il-poplu.
Ghal dawn l-ahhar hamsa u ghoxrin sena dejjem kien hemm gvern tal-Partit Nazzjonalista.
Issa rebhu l-elezzjonijiet bil-fridges,bil-washing machines,bil-computers jew televixins biex jinxtraw il-voti tal-poplu Malti u Ghawdxi ,bl-ID CARDS SKADUTI,id-dizastru kolossali finanzjarju ta 14 000 ewro dejn fuq kull cittadin Malti u Ghawdxi , sa anke dawk li illum ghandhom gurnata huma kolla certifikati tal-falliment tal-Partit Nazzjonalista fil-gvern.
Gvern ta l-imbruljuni,iwghedek li jghajnek ghax sejjer inaqqas it-taxxi u ma jwettaqx din il-wgheda,imma il-kabinett tal-partit nazzjonalista jiehu baxx baxx 600 ewro zieda fil-gimgha kontra il-1.16ewro fil-gimgha tal-poplu.
Gvern tal-faccoli iwijghed garanzija ta xoghol lil tat-tarzna ,lil tal-go,ta smart city Malta,lil tal-linja u minn jaf kemm iktar.
Hlassijiet ta pagi mizeri b'xogholijiet prekarji lil-haddiema Maltin u Ghawdxin u ix-xoghol part time huwa l-ordni tal-gurnata ghal-haddiema ,grazzi ghal-gvern tal-Partit Nazzjonalista u is-sistema GONZIPN.
Gvern tal-ipokriti, jaghati lil-poplu Malti u Ghawdxi power station mis-saga BWSC li tahdem bil-heavey fuel oil,u x'jintereshom mil-poplu ta l-inhawi li jibilghaw arja imniggsa u velenuza .
L-aqwa li ghaddiet kif riedu tal-klikka tal-Partit Nazzjonalista.
Ma dawn tmenijn miljun ewro minfuqa b'kappricc biex nghajdu li il-Priministru tal-Partit Nazzjonalista jista jirregistra blokka biini moderna kolla travi tal-hadid li gewwa il-Belt Valletta ma hemmx ohra bhala. U il-poplu Malti u Ghawdxi ihallas biz-zalza ghad-dawl u l-ilma,il-petrol,diesel u gas kolla bzonnijiet mehtiega ghal-hajja ta kuljum,biex wara kollox jghamel tajjeb ghal-mizuri ta awsterita li bil-pulit il-gvern tal-
Partit Nazzjonalista impona fuq il-poplu.
Ghalhekk fiz-zmien li gej il-Poplu Malti u Ghawdxi ghandu jigudika lis-sistema GONZIPN fuq dak li weghdet imma fl-ahhar fil-prattika ikun kollu paroli,paroli u iktar paroli.Xi haga li is-sistema GONZIPN tifjorixi tajjeb hafna fijha IL-GIDEB.PARTIT NAZZJONALISTA IC-CHAMPIONS TAL-GIDEB GEWWA L-UNJONI EWROPEJA.

- Tue 25-Sep-2012, 21:04FD calls the PM a dictator. Had Gonzi been a dictator FD wouldn't even be allowed to speak.
FD is now bordering on ridicule. We know that he gets back at those that stand in his way. Since he isn't allowed to contest, thankfully for Malta, he wants to avenge himself.

Il-PN jaf li n-nies tiegħu ma jistgħux iwaħħlu pannelli għax jgħixu tas-Sliema u San Ġiljan, u se jkunu huma li jħallsu għad-dejn ta' l-EneMalta.

- Tue 25-Sep-2012, 15:31gonzi wish to stay till the end as first he said he get exited watching the workers at the new parliament , then when he move to the new parliament he want to watch the opera on one site and the fountain and arriva on the other side to make sure they are on time thats why he pulled down the city gate .
GL Calleja
- Tue 25-Sep-2012, 15:14I said it once and I will say it again. Franco Debono could have easily ousted Austin Gatt, but for reasons unknown he did not, because when it came to the final blow, Franco Debono decided to ABSTAIN. There has to be a good explanation why he did that, but Franco Debono is not saying what it is. Me. I think there was some arm twisting going on.

- Tue 25-Sep-2012, 15:13I question - how come the Times of Malta does not print any of Franco's serious warnings and accusations which might even lead to an early election.
Is this issue not an important one - whilst all other trivial comment are immediately published.
One wonders!!!!!

I know , i will vote PL for the first time in my life, why ?? :-))) it would take me till next week to tell you. Enough is enough. You won't resign, Franco will make you go to elections, and we x nationalists will vote PL this time, and you will realise that you were a no good prime minister, John Dalli qallek sew Gonz..............

- Tue 25-Sep-2012, 13:19Shouldn't the Speaker take note of Dr. Debono's statement? It is painfully obvious that GonziPN is,now a minority Govt.
Can the President request Govt to reconvene Parliament to decide once for all whether GonziPN has the support of the House?
