Speaking in a wide-ranging interview with MaltaToday which will be published in Sunday’s printed edition, the Ghaxaq MP says that after months of evaluation of a failed draft some years back by the so called ‘Galdes Commission’ - a new draft bill has been drawn which is now expected to be brought before the PN parliamentary group for discussion and eventual publication as a White Paper.
“For the first time we are talking about a Bill, a draft law, and not a report,” he says.
Franco Debono also calls for major constitutional reforms, and a new political project for the country.
“This country needs not just a new constitution to reflect modern times and European reality, as I have already called for in parliament, but a new and less polarised political culture and dialectic...”
“The Sunday morning parochial political sermons from party clubs will surely not help to lure talent into politics. This adds to the risk of losing the already existing talent.
“Our towns and villages’ tranquillity should not be disturbed by political bickering on Sunday, a day of rest. Important declarations should be made in parliament.
“Political parties are a means to an end. They serve to build a healthy and strong state, and not the other way round. No one is greater than the party except the people, and MPs represent the people,” he says.

...mela insejt l'aktar klawzola importanti...L-istat u il Kurja ghandhom jkunu mifruda u ma jkunx hemm ebda konflitt bejn il ligi Kanonika u dik statali. Kulhadd ghandhu dritt li jiprattika ir religjon li jrid hu bla ebda ndhil mil awtoritajiet kemm ta l-istat u kemm tal knisja. Il prattika ta religjon ghandha tithalla libera f'idejn kull individwu.

So after 25 years resisting any control or transparency in party financing, the PN - sensing that its time in power is coming to a close - is moving to make sure that its successors will not enjoy the same freedom it did.
Nice.

Nahseb aqta kemm ser ikun hemm guramenti foloz fejn tirrigwardja il finanzjament tal partiti. ` Ovvja miz zewg partiti il kbar `..
Tlett affarijiet nixtieq li nara li jinbiddlu mill kostituzjoni taghna.
A. Ghandha tinbidel Chapter 1..Para..1.3..Fejn tghejd li ma nistawx nippartecipaw u nghejnu fil gwerrer ta haddiehor. Din ghandha titnehha u tigi il kontra. Ma jimpurtax li nigu latrina tal barrani, pero ta l-anqas ma nibqawx nitmejlu bil poplu.
B. Sabiex jinqata darba ghal dejjem il " jerrymindering ". L-ellezzjonijiet ghandhom isiru, l-ewwel sabiex jitla il partit mil pajjiz kollu u mhux distrettwali. Wara isiru elezzjonijiet ghad deputati ( ghan naha tal gvern, u l-oppozizjoni tipo bhal kunsilli lokali ) u tkun distrettwali. Fl-ahhar il kap tal partit li ikun rebah il gvern jifforma il kabinett.
C. Il President ta Repubblika ghandu jinghazel mill poplu, sabiex nevitaw li ikollna President li wara xi 30 sena jghajjar (politikament ) lil tan naha l-ohra, jokkupa din il kariga kontra ir rieda ta nofs il poplu .
