Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi visits the Maria Al Batool school
Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi today toured the Maria Al Batool school in Paola, the only school in the Muslim world where the head is of Catholic belief.
The head, former PL MEP candidate Maria Camilleri, accompanied Gonzi during the visit of both the primary and secondary wings of the school together with Imam Mohammed El Sadi.
"The classes contain a diverse mix of students, including some from Libya and Syria who have fled from the crises in the Middle East," Gonzi said.
Gonzi also assured the Imam that once the Budget for 2013 is approved, government will waive the €400,000 loan the school has.
"The school plays a role in consolidating the Islamic existence in Malta," the Imam told Gonzi.
The government also provides the school with a yearly €300,000 subsidy.

Kif ma jisħix wiċċu dan il-bniedem . Li tagħmel din il-weghda f'kampanja elettorali turi kemm int lest li tagħmel kollox biex terġa tikseb il-poter , ħalli tkun tista tkompli teqred lill dan il-pajjiz bid-dejn li għamiltu int u l-partit misħut Nazzjonalista . Dawn il-flus mhux tiegħek u għalhekk ma kellek ebda dritt li tgħid li ser taħfer dan is-self jekk ma jkollokx l-approvazzjoni tal-parlament . Approvazzjoni li inti taf li mhux ser ikollok wara id-9 ta' Marzu li gej . Din int għamilta biex tirbaħ il-voti tal-Musulmani u jekk ma titlax fil-gvern tkun tista tgħid li kien il-partit Laburista li ma hafirx dan is-self .

If this is not an election gimmick what is. I believe that any arab country can waiver this debt if they ask for it. Gonzi seems to forget or prfers to forget the degrading adjectives his party heaped on the arab nation calling them "tal-habba ziz" "tal-lakumja" "Terroristi" among others less refined adjectives and even were against a palistinian and Libyan embassy in Malta.

BY WHAT RIGHT OR JUSTICE DOES GONZI HAVE TO WAIVE THIS SUM OF MONEY FOR AL BATOOL SCHOOL. WHY HAS HE NOT WAIVED THE 100 EURO ELECTRICITY BILL OF THIS POOR FAMILY WHO COULD NOT AFFORD TO PAY AND HAD THEIR ELECTRICITY CUT OFF FOR 3 SOLID MONTHS. WHERE IS THE HEART OF THESE PEOPLE. WHY HAS HE NOT WAIVED THE SUMS OF MONEY OF ALL THOSE OTHER FAMILIES AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LINE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THEIR ENERGY BILLS. BY WHAT DEMOCRATIC RIGHT HAS THIS PRIME MINISTER PROMISING TO GIVE THE PEOPLE'S MONEY, MONEY THAT IS COLLECTED FROM OUR TAXES, AWAY JUST TO GARNER VOTES. AND HE TELLS US THIS COUNTRY CANNOT AFFORD A CHANGE. OF COURSE HE, YES HE, CANNOT AFFORD A CHANGE - HE HAS BEEN GAINING SO MUCH INCLUDING 3 YEARS OF 500 EUROS PER WEEK IN SALARY INCREASE FOR HIMSELF AND HIS MINISTERS. OUR MONEY COMES EASY FOR HIM. SO STAND UP ALL MALTESE PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL, ALL MALTESE WHO EARN THEIR MONEY HONESTLY AND THE HARD WAY. THE HOUR WHEN WE THE ORDINARY PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY CAN DECIDE OUR FUTURE IS COMING NEAR. DO NOT WASTE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE GONZIPN OUT. LET US REGAIN OUR DIGNITY AND OUR HONOUR. LET US BUILD A NEW FUTURE TOGETHER FOR ALL MALTESE (AND GOZITANS OF COURSE)

So Jesuitical Gonzi cum Psaila cum Beppe are now all out for the Muslim religion. Indeed any religion as long as it is a religion.

It is written, there is a time and a time!
What I read today it seem it is that time to waver before election.
Now that I am a pensioner and every penny count can my dear prime minister remember us and waver the little tax we are made to pay that mean a lot to us.
•
Gonzi, once again, proves how easy it is to write off tax payers' money.
•
Can Gonzi waive my loans too?
•
Gvern iddisprat!!
•
The government can waive my loan as well if he wants!!
Is this to win the votes from the Muslim people?? I see that Gonzi is grasping to every straw now, without a doubt!!
