Cabinet reshuffle will be announced before the end of year
Following yesterday’s administrative elections at the Labour Party’s General Conference, Prime Minister Robert Abela is set to announce a cabinet reshuffle which would see Alex Agius Saliba leave his seat at the European Parliament and return to Malta to be appointed as an MP in Malta’s Parliament. Ian Borg was elected as Deputy-Leader and by…

No hints of a cabinet reshuffle: but Executive Committee will change
I have just confirmed that so far Robert Abela has called for no Minister to change their position or demote them and there has been no mention at all in yesterday’s meeting of a cabinet reshuffle. Rumours circulated last night that Clifton Grima may be uncertain of his position as he has yet to reply…

The Minister for Public Toilets and Street Sweepers shows his support to Robert Abela
Nothing has been said as of yet that explains Glenn Bedingfield’s appointment as Minister for Public Cleanliness in Robert Abela’s pseudo-reshuffle. The truth is that Glenn Bedingfield was humiliated as part of Robert Abela’s sick and cruel sense of humour. Glenn Bedingfield has distinguished himself as the only MP who derides Robert Abela for supposedly,…

Extending control over the Labour Party through more useful fools
The pseudo-reshuffle announced by Robert Abela reminded me of US Embassy cables leaked by Wikileaks. In some of these cables, the then US Ambassador Molly Bordonaro, quoted Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi as complaining about the “limited talent” present in his Parliamentary group when choosing his Cabinet in 2008. While this problem has affected many Governments…

It’s not a reshuffle: it’s a purge and the Health Minister has been sacked
This website was the only investigative journalism outlet that announced much in advance that Robert Abela had earmarked Joe Etienne Abela as the replacement to Chris Fearne as Health Minister. Robert Abela tried to replace Chris Fearne twice, once with another cabinet minister and another time with Charmaine Gauci, both of whom had declined. Now,…

This is the team of people that Robert Abela wants to lead the Ministry of Health
Robert Abela still hasn’t been able to execute a cabinet reshuffle, and as time passes and he loses more support, it will become ever more difficult for him, especially without the backing of his parliamentary group. In a way, Labour rebels, have so far avoided a disaster by putting Robert Abela in place to the…

Schrödinger’s cabinet reshuffle
The Labour Party conducts regular surveys of its own and it is well aware that it is haemorrhaging votes so, The Malta Independent’s survey is no surprise for Labour. However, this does expose Labour’s weakness in public and as a result adds to the ever-increasing anxiety and panic of Robert Abela who is suddenly thinking…

Meet Robert Abela’s new candidate for Health Minister: Joe Etienne Abela
Joe Etienne Abela is a surgeon who joined politics to ingratiate with the Labour leader come what may in order to extend his personal ambitions. Just another narcissist who supported Robert Abela’s resistance to a public inquiry on Jean-Paul Sofia’s death during the heated cabinet discussions about the matter. He is Minister for Active Aging;…

Update on Anton Refalo
This week there have been conflicting reports on whether Gozo Minister Anton Refalo was to resign. Although a case is being prepared against Refalo for stealing cultural heritage property, this has not been concluded yet, giving more time to Robert Abela to figure out his next moves. This is good for Robert Abela who is…
