Co-opting idiots and traitors for a reform that protects criminals
The Minister of Justice Jonathan Attard convened a meeting of the MCESD to “discuss” the government’s rushed reforms about Magisterial Inquiries.

David Xuereb, the man who props up the Labour government by fraudulently being projected by the government as the representative of the business community, is a director at the Building and Industry Consultative Council and…

The Chamber of Commerce calls an urgent meeting of the MCESD
Last week, when David Xuereb was called up by the Prime Minister to attend a cabinet meeting to represent the MCESD, this was done explicitly to fraudulently show that the business community is supporting the government.

A very clever opportunist that represents the construction lobby
Word travels fast when I declare an unknown, and apparently, David Xuereb, the Chairman of the MCESD and the mannequin used by the Labour Party for its events and theatrical government meetings is an architect who fronts big interests of the construction industry. He has positioned himself as a middleman and broker between big construction…
