Former PN minister insists problem is Gonzi not Debono
Former Nationalist minister Michael Falzon says the real problem within the PN is not Franco Debono but Lawrence Gonzi’s leadership
In an interview carried by Sunday newspaper Illum, former Nationalist minister Michael Falzon said that the internal crisis within the PN did not start today.
