Watch: Abela Must Follow ‘My Friend Randolph’ And Show Some Shame, PN MP Says
Nationalist MP Mark Anthony Sammut has said Prime Minister Robert Abela should be displaying the same level of shame as PL MP and CEO Randolph De Battista over the Jean Paul Sofia public inquiry.
“Your only reaction should be what my friend Randolph had,” Sammut said in Parliament in a direct message to Abela. “At least he realised that he made a mistake and he told you how you should feel – ashamed.”
“Shame is the only thing you should be feeling right now but you’re incapable of that. You have no shame, which is why you’re doing the opposite of what two public inquiries have now warned you and, unfortunately, as long as you’re in charge the country can never recover.”
Although Abela has pledged to implement all the findings of the Sofia inquiry, Sammut expressed serious doubt over his actual intentions. He reminded the nation that the Prime Minister had fought tooth and nail against the public inquiry, even mocking these demands as “calls for an online TV show.
He also warned that Abela’s attempts to reintegrate the likes of Joseph Muscat, Rosianne Cutajar, Justyne Caruana, and Joseph Cuschieri into politics flies in the face of the inquiry’s warnings of a culture of impunity.
“The inquiry flagged a culture of impunity and ‘everything goes’ but you’re reintegrating these people back into politics,” he told Abela.
“How can you not realise that the Prim Ħati (the ultimate guilty person) the inquiry is pointing fingers at, is you, Robert Abela. You are the country’s biggest problem, you are fostering the culture of impunity and lowering our standards, and it is your choices that are resulting in deaths. Yours and your Cabinet who weren’t able to stop you.”
