Instead of heeding his advice, his colleagues obscenely asked for his resignation simply because he disagreed with the prevailing culture of lack of accountability.

Not only was lack of accountability too deeply rooted in the country, but now someone who was doing his best for the country was being obscenely asked to resign because he disagreed with this culture.

Nationalist MP Franco Debono said in Parliament yesterday evening that in view of last Sundays acknowledgement by the Prime Minister that mistakes had been made by the government, the formula for the future should be based on the phrase li tkisser, sewwi (fix what you break).

Nationalist MP Franco Debono said today that the results of the local council elections showed that the people wanted to convey a clear message to the 'oligarchy'. The people said we want our country back. The people are waiting for accountability and resignations" he said in comments on his interpretation of the results.

I have protested and continue to protest over the use of heavy fuel oil in the Delimara power station, and urge yet again the use of cleaner fuel and possible gas. This issue has cost this country months of useless controversy which is still ongoing when this time could have been better used on more important debates.

Nationalist backbencher Franco Debono said yesterday he would support anyone but Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi to lead the government. If Dr Gonzi does not resign, the MP said yesterday, the only alternative would be a general election.

Dwar il-Parlament
Dr Debono said parliament was being bypassed through delaying tactics, and this was unacceptable. The people must understand that all these manoeuvres are not only not in the national interest, but intended solely so that no one assumed political responsibility and resigns. The Prime Minister should have understood by now that these tactics do not work with me. I made it clear to the prime minister that I will not accept the budget vote before the debate on the justice motion, he said. The motion demands that political responsibility be assumed for 'endemic problems' in the sectors falling under the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs - which was then under the responsibility of Carm Mifsud Bonnici. The ministry was later split.

Franco Debono this evening fired an angry tirade at the government, hitting out at the fact that more amendments had been moved to the Budget Measures Bill than there were clauses. He also pointed out that there was no one on the government benches other than the Finance Minister and Gozitan MP Frederick Azzopardi.
Sounding angry, Dr Debono said the House had not taken a vote for three months and it had taken a break of three weeks over Easter. Yet, now, four times as many amendments had been presented as there were clauses, without time for proper discussion. "This is not the way Parliament should be run. Where is the prime minister? I expected him to be here. Is he somewhere else replying to people on the internet?" Dr Debono asked. "We are continuing to ridicule Parliament and I am sorry there is a self-appointed technocrat who runs everything, and that is why politicians are losing respect because this technocrat and his friends from St Edwards do what they want," Dr Debono said. He said he had sought the prime minister within the precincts of the House but could not find him. Dr Debono said he was a Nationalist more than all the MPs put together 10 times over, but they should be in the House.

Lawrence Gonzi is inflicting the same harm to the political class as his uncle Archbishop Mikiel Gonzi had inflicted on the Church.
Dr. Franco Debono timesofmalta.com
These bills (ilma u dawl), he says were introduced by "the bully" (Austin Gatt) "who decided to play his antics once again on his favourite victim - the whole Maltese population".
Bullies have no place in politics, let alone in the politics of a small island. Bullies have debased politics and brought the troubled situation we are in now. Bullies mean trouble and more bullies.
Can this country tolerate a minister (Austin Gatt) and his band of merry men in various government boards and entities playing musical chairs, committing one blunder after the other, not resigning after BWSC, not resigning after Arriva, burdening the Maltese population with cruel water and electricity bills, declares he is not even contesting the next elections, and he continues to act and is allowed to act by the prime Minister as if he is an untouchable li hadd ma jista ghalih? "What does a Prime Minister expect if he allows someone to ride roughshod over everyone and to bully his colleagues with impunity? Isn't that a bad example not just to the whole country but also to the parliamentary group? Where is team spirit? "Why is Austin Gatt allowed to have multiple political lives, whilst others ideas and opportunities have to survive multiple abortion attempts? "Austin Gatt's attitude, which for years has brought feelings of utter disgust in thousands of Maltese people, including Nationalists, is the attitude which has caused untold harm to the PN parliamentary group, the party and the government. Someone who is confrontational by nature does not become a doer because he exhibits his bullying tactics and gives vent to his anger, with the excuse of getting things done. The public transport reform, without Austin Gatt's bullying character, would have succeeded.
