Before the election, Joseph Muscat boasted of gathering a “movement” behind him in the run-up to beat the Nationalist Party. He succeeded in persuading many to join his camp, and ended up...

The new PN secretary general

Wednesday, 20 May 2015, 14:12 Last update: about 10 years ago Stephen Calleja

It is now clear that one decision has already been taken by the Nationalist Party – and this is that its new secretary general will not be one of its MPs. The vote will be taken in the...

Where’s your courage, Konrad?

Thursday, 14 May 2015, 11:01 Last update: about 10 years ago Stephen Calleja

In the midst of senior police officers getting lucrative jobs in spite of committing shameful mistakes, a university about to be built in untouched land with the blessing of the government, including...
