PN students at the university have confirmed what I wrote some time ago, on 28 October 2007 in another newspaper (Illum), namely, that the party which in the past was considered to be the party “tal-puliti” had undergone a metamorphosis into one “tal-hamalli” by their unruly, at times vulgar, behaviour towards Dr Alfred Sant during what was supposed to be a civil debate between the four party leaders at the university hall.

There were times when the PN and its acolytes in the media used to chide the Labour Party for the unruly behaviour of some of its supporters. Those times have long gone by – a good 16 years at least! But today unruly behaviour has again raised its ugly head – this time within GonziPN and in the presence of Dr Gonzi!

Instead of telling those Nationalist students to show respect to the other three party leaders, particularly Dr Sant – who was the main target of the PN students’ vitriol – Dr Gonzi remained silent and allowed those PN students (the crème-de-la-crème of the PN!) to continue to barrack Dr Sant! Shame on you too Dr Gonzi!!!

One good thing though emanated out of the bedlam created by those unruly students – the aura of class, good manners and Christian values of which the PN and its disciples in the media used to pride themselves in the past, has been shattered forever! This is another “record” to add to a long list of negative records under Dr Gonzi’s leadership of GonziPN!
