latest comment from Charles Falzon, Sliema, 21/09/2020 16:13: Professor Charmaine Gauci, together with her Minister, should (unfortunately) resign and make way for someone with enough guts to stand up for what they believe in.

Even Covid has become infected with the corrupt urge for money. ACT NOW TO REDUCE THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR BAD DECISIONS OF NOT STANDING UP TO PROTECT US ELDERS! WE'VE CONTRIBUTED A LIFETIME OF HARD WORK FOR MALTA, DO WE HAVE TO GIVE UP OUR LIVES AS WELL NOW?
