Il-mekkaniżmu tal-COLA
Hu ironiku li l-istess Tonio Fenech u l-Oppożizzjoni Nazzjonalista qegħdin kontinwament jattakkaw bl-aktar mod sfrenat il-mekkaniżmu tal-COLA, meta kienu l-istess Tonio Fenech u l-Partit Nazzjonalista li stabilixxew dan il-mekkaniżmu meta kienu fil-Gvern. STQARRIJA MILL-MINISTERU GĦALL-FINANZI La dan il-Gvern, u lanqas ebda Gvern ta’ qabel, ma jista’ jieħu l-krettu għaż-żieda tal-COLA. Dan għaliex il-COLA tinħadem…

Stqarrija għall-istampa
L-Oppożizzjoni tidher li lanqas stqarrija sempliċi ma taf taqra. STQARRIJA MILL-MINISTERU GĦALL-FINANZI Fl-ittra tagħha llum, il-Kummissjoni Ewropea ma elenkat ebda ksur tal-liġi u ma talbet l-ebda tibdil. Talbet biss kjarifiki mill-Gvern Malti bħala parti mill-proċeduri li ddaħħlu mill-Unjoni Ewropea s-sena l-oħra. L-Oppożizzjoni għal darb’oħra qed tara kif tipprova tagħmel ostakli, l-aqwa li tagħmel il-ħsara.…
