[WATCH] ' Not everyone will be happy with cabinet choices' - Muscat
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat says that Cabinet will be announced tomorrow, adds 'not everyone will be happy' with Cabinet choices
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has announced that he would be announcing the new cabinet line-up tomorrow afternoon.
Muscat said that during the meeting, he explained to the PL parliamentary group how the Labour administration would be approaching the selection of a new cabinet line-up, and said that the parliamentary group expressed their trust in him.
"Our aim is that the cabinet is announced tomorrow afternoon," Muscat said.
Muscat however admitted that "not everyone was going to be happy," but insisted that "there will be a role for everyone."
"This does not mean that everyone will be a minister or a parliamentary secretary, but there will not be a situation where government excludes people," he said.
"We will work with the whole parliamentary group," Muscat said, adding that the Labour administration is also envisaging "involving the opposition."
Asked to react to calls by Labour exponents - among them Labour MP Evarist Bartolo - for Alternattiva Demokratika's 5,500 votes to receive some sort of recognition or representation, Muscat was receptive.
"My opinion is that this is an issue that should be discussed in the national convention for Constitutional reform, which he had originally proposed during his campaign. I think it is a legitimate issue which would be part of a revised electoral law that this government is ready to discuss with everyone."
