When speaking at the wreath-laying ceremony at the Republic Day monument in Marsa on Saturday, 12th December, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said that in a few months’ time, a process to establish the Constitutional Convention will be launched since (according to himself), “the time had come for a review of the Malta Constitution” and “the country has waited long enough for this to take place”. He also stated that the Constitutional Convention “should listen to the opinion of civil society and of citizens in general” and went on to add that “there was a need for discussion on matters of both disagreement and agreement” and that “this discussion should lead to convergence”.
In view of this, I personally appeal to the Nationalist Party to boycott the Constitutional Convention given that Prime Minister Joseph Muscat appointed Dr Franco Debono as coordinator of the Constitutional Convention he implemented was what can best be described as a vindictive act only intended to humiliate the Nationalist Party.
