A source close to Nationalist MP Franco Debono has told MaltaToday the rebel MP has told friends he will not be appeased by any reforms the government will enact to redress the "democratic deficit" Debono referred to during his speech in parliament.
Debono abstained in a crucial no-confidence vote moved by the Opposition, after the MP threatened to withdraw his support for government when he called for the prime minister's resignation.
"He says he is not going to be appeased by any reforms," the source, a friend of Debono, told MaltaToday.
"His words were: 'any reforms have to come with resignations'," the source told MaltaToday shortly after Debono left parliament, accompanied by party whip David Agius and escorted to his vehicle by police officers.
"He said the government has lost its majority anyway. It's not over for the prime minister - he still has to focus on the upcoming money bill," the source said.
On Wednesday Debono listed his preoccupations with the state of democracy in Malta, citing yet again party financing, electoral reform and criminal justice reforms. Debono has insisted that resignations of ministers who opposed the reforms, must take place.
Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi today said he agreed with the issues Debono had raised, three weeks after prompting a political crisis when a cabinet reshuffle to split the ministry for justice and home affairs - allegedly on the strength of a personal promise to Debono - angered the MP so much that he called for the PM's resignation.
Debono's outburst against Gonzi and his so called 'network of evil' - a reference to the prime minister's inner circle and closest ministers - prompted the PN's executive to call for Debono to resign his seat in parliament.
Last Sunday however, a meeting brokered by parliamentary secretary Mario Galea between the prime minister and Debono led to an understanding for the MP's abstention, and possible early elections before summer.

DR FRANCO DEBONO'S WORD IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING ANYMORE AND THEREFORE HE SHOULD BE IGNORED COMPLETELY BY THE PL AND LEFT TO HIS OWN MUDDY DEVICES TO DEAL WITH HIS 'CLIQUE OF EVIL' FRIENDS IN THE PN. ANYONE WHO CONTRADICTS HIMSELF SO BLATANTLY IN PUBLIC OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS NOT WORTH THE PEOPLE'S EMPATHY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS GAME HE IS PLAYING AND THE WHOLE NATION IS LOSING AND STANDS TO LOSE EVEN MORE OUT OF IT. SO THEREFORE, THE PL MUST REMAIN FOCUSED ON FINE TUNING ITS POLICIES FOR WHEN THE APPROPRIATE TIME COMES AND SHOULD NOT RELY ON PEOPLE GROSSLY CONTRADICTING THEMSELVES WHEN FACED WITH THE TIME OF PROOF.

I fail to understand if as the prime minster said in his comment that he agrees with the issues proposed by Franco Debono then what he is waiting for to enact these valid serious issues which are undermining our democracy and making us the laughing stock of the european community with our archaic governance of this country. We need to be proactive and move forward with these changes since there is no other option unless he prefers anarchy.

Just call it bluff. The way Dr Debono voted shows that he is an accomplice with the government. We are fed up of hearing about what he thinks although he was right and had very good arguments. I would have preferred if he did not speak out what his concerns were, than doing so and ending abstaining. Do you have confidence in the government Dr Debono? Yes or no? For heaven's sake what will be the next step now, Dr Debono? Nobody knows .............!!!!!!
•
Franco you still owe a lot to Malta, the Maltese and democracy. You gave Gonzi PN Administration another lease of life. How long this will be, and how much you are going to condone being pushed aside and your reforms thrown the the dustbin, I cannot fathom. If you do not do what you mean and show that Gonzi PN Govt and clique should make way, you will be considered as one of the greatest traitors in Maltese history. You acknowledge we have a weak Government, and perhaps too strong with you, and let things go by. Show us that you really have 'eggs' and not paroli and no fatti.
•
Dr. Franco you're like Dr. Coward like the captain of the ship that sank on Friday the 13th. He was nicknamed by Captain Coward and you are like "Dr. Coward"
•
Dear editor,
Can you please explain why it takes ages to publish my comments.
Thanks and regards

Franco Debono has shown us what it will be like if we have a third, minority, party that can blackmail the government of the day with toppling it if it does not get its way. The minority will rule the day.
•
It's not over for the prime minister - he still has to focus on the upcoming money bill."
And what in God's name is Dr Debono proposing to do now. More wasting of Parliament's time? Stop this nonsense Dr Debono once and for all. Nobody is taking you seriously now, not anymore.

•
Wouldn't it have been better for Dr Debono to put an end to the surrealism that GonziPN is presently living by voting with the opposition? After his memorable speech on Wednesday that was what was expected of him. By abstaining he has given GonziPN the much needed breath of life to put in full force the power of incumbency.
•
what is for certain is that all that Franco said is there for everyone to see and here. We all know now that malta can't wait any longer so we can see read and here part2 of this pantomine. We need to get things right without any more delays. Malta today is less stable then it was yesterday. So if The Prime Minister really loves his country he should without any delay call for an election. It is not just the PL who is saying this but the Ad and all those who want Malta to move on, not just sit put until the party in governement thinks he is ready to win anopther election. i believe this is the same scenario as when Dr Sant said he won the EU referendum. The more you stay dear Prime Minister the more votes you are going to loose!!!
•
Dr. Debono, when people say they love their country the last thing thing they do is put a knife to its neck and hold it hostage. This like it or not is what you do every time you open tour mouth. I would go as far as calling you ANTIDEMOCRATIC AND TRAITOR TO YOUR COUNTRY. WE ARE TODAY MORE UNSTABLE THANKS TO YOU. YOU ARE A DISGRACE!!!
•
Dear Franco from now on I am going to take your words with a pinch of salt.
Allow me please to remind you some of wour quatations:
1. Either the prime minister resigns or I am going to vote with the opposition.
2. The prime minister and his clique are living in another planet and we the mortals on a smaller planet orbiting around their planet.
3. Unless who is responsible for the blunders (including the prime minister) resign, the government lost my support.
etc. etc.
The the hour came to remove this corrupt government out you made the biggest U-turn of your life.
So now how do you pretend us to beleive you when you say that you are not going to appeased by any reforms.
Go and tell that to the marines please.
Anyway thank you for the exciting fourthnight.
•
@Franco Debono,
At this point, no matter what you say, not matter what you do, you will never be believed anymore,after all the talking you did, I must admit you fooled me too. I thought hey man, this Franco is unique, speaking his mind!!!!I was stupid to wish that other MPs should be like you.

Id-decizjonijiet iridu jittiehdu f'waqtom, jiddispjacini hafna ghal Dr. Franco Debono li dejjem qed idur idur idur madwar is-sitwazzoni u jerga lura f'li-stess post tat-tluq. Vera sitwazzjoni difficli u li anke tpoggik f'biza izda dment li giet indirizzata issa trid titwettaq id-dawrien ma jwasslu mkien.....ghalijja l-kaz Franco Debono issa huwa mghaluq.
•
Franco Debono qal repetutament li tlifna id-demokrazija, li ghadna Gvern tal-klikek u elf haga ohra li l-Gvern qed jaghmel hazin. Tant qal kontra t-tmexija ta' Gonzi li ma nistax niftakarhom kollha. Mela fl'opinjoni tieghi Dr. Franco Debono hu komnplici ma min mhux demokratiku meta flok ivvota favur il-mozjoni u temm dan l-abbuz, hasel idejh u gie jaqa u jqum mil-verita. Hu ghar mil-bqija tad-deputati Nazjonalisti, ghax ghalmenu dawn jew ghadhom ma indunawx bit-tmexija hazina tal-Gvern jew ma ghammetewx jew jaqblu maghha. Ma tistax tghid dan kollu lil-poplu imbaghad tahsel idejk. Hadd mu ser jaghti kaz aktar ta' Dr. Debono. Mhux veru jhobb il-pajjiz izda anke hu jried jibqa iggranfat mas-siggu u salarju komdu

Franco, napprezza hafna il-glieda li ghamilt ghad-demokrazija ta' pajjizna u kellek ragun f'kollox. Imma issa hallejtna b'dittatorjat.
•
Franco yesterday would have been written with great names such as Dom Mintoff,Anton Vassalli,Dun Mikel Xerri and others,but he opted otherwise.He is a man with B..s.but was afraid of the crowd,you could see it in his face.
•
Never ever ever trust anyone from the PN.
•
@Quo Vadis. A very good summation and an excellent objective opinion on top of that. Many were simply seeing Dr Debono as a maverick intending to bring down this government and are now disappointed that he didn't turn out to be a PL stooge after all.
•
Dr. Debono's friend says he is not appeased, he does not know what appeased means the way he handled the situation. I bet he will even succomb to the partie's finance bill, Gonzi made a toy out of you , so sorry , you said it , and he still will, someone said you are a little kid(PN blogger) he might be right. If you are not appeased lets start from next week vote against any Government money bill, you quoted many evil is happening in the Pn clan. Appeased my foot.
•
Dr. Debono ghamel u-turn mis sitta ta Jannar, meta qal li sejjer iwaqqa il gvern u Gonzi imissu jghajjat elezjoni ghalhekk dan l-avukat mhuwiex avukat serju tal-kelma u jien minhiex kieku nigi bzonn avukat kriminali nuza is-sevizzi tieghu zgur ghax biex idahhalni f'xi basla l-ewwel jidderigini nghid mod u imbghad jgelni li nkun ghad ,nghid mod iehor ninqabad u ninsab hati. hekk ghamel Dr. Debono mal poplu qal li u baqa jinsisti li se jivvota kontra u f'daqqa bdielu allura mhux kredibli , ahjar jirezenja mil Parlament ghax ura kemm mhuwiex serju, jiddispjacini imma ma ikkonvincejt lil hadd, issa anzi urejt li nqast min dmirek ghx kieku kont serju kont twaqqa il-gvern
•
It's a pity that this is the end of the road for Franco. He required that little more extra guts to bring down Gonzi with him, but then this has been expected all the time. So it's good bye. A pity, for he would have made a good representative of the people which was not appreciated by his own party.
•
Since Saturday, when Dr.Debono presented the private member's bill about party financing, I thought that Dr.Debono would abstain. It wouldn't have made any sense for an MP to present a private bill, and then brings down the government 5 days after! And I also knew that it's very hard for a Nationalist MP to bring down his own party from government. I'm sure that Dr.Debono's political career is over, because after all the hatred that has been said, they (GonziPN) will make him by kicking him out of parliament for good. On the other hand, it's quite interesting that there's still the budget's money bill that have to be approved in parliament, and it counts like a confidence vote! I wouldn't be surprised at all if Dr.Debono votes against this time, cause he wouldn't be in favour of a PL motion! This reason counts alot!!!!!!! I can understand the frustration of many people, since they expected that parliament would be dissolved today! But politics is full of mind games, and sometimes even full of dirty tricks from behind, like the 1998 crisis which saw Mintoff bringing down Dr.Alfred Sant's government. Like the prime minister said, 'we have to live day by day from now onwards!'

GonziPN qieghed agunija, u tmiem tieghu jekk ma jasalx illum jasal ghada.

‘Franco says he’s not going to be appeased’
Unfortunately everyone will take Franco for a ride now, whatever he says. He had the chance to write his name in our history books as an exemplar politician but, unfortunately, blew this opportunity. He had the chance to really make a difference in this country, to strengthen democracy, to demonstrate that the parliament is the voice of us common people, but unfortunately he blew it. The people who referred to him as "bicca deputat" will laugh at his actions today, and unfortunately will continue to bulldoze us common people. Unfortunately, Franco's name will be forgotten.

•
Dr Debono, I have followed with great interest your marathon. I admired your loyalty to the country. It takes guts to expose the unorthodox practice and failures of the govt. I can also understand why you did not go all the way and vote in favor of the LP motion. You said from day 1 that you are a Nationalist and that you will not cross the floor. All things said what puzzles me is how can you support such a govt when you know their mode of practice.
God bless you.
•
Franco, game over. tlift il kredibilita ma kulhadd issa.kellek ic cans li lil prim ministru tghidlu car u tond li mat tmiem tal karriera politika tieghek ser ittemm tieghu u tal klikka li tant hambaqt fuqha. meta giet is siegha tal prova hadt decizjoni li ma waqqajtux u tajt cans lil klikka tipprova taghmel ir rimonta halli terga tirbah l elezzjoni li gejja u jibqghu jerdghu. u int skomunikat xorta mil partit tieghek.l uniku tellief issa huwa INT. lil prim missek tajtu l ewwel telfa ,ha jsejjah l-elezzjoni u jdabbar it tieni wahda m ghand il poplu, int ghazilt it trieq ta kelb jinbah ma jigdimx.

F ranco, Arrigo,JPo, and JP farrugia all have commited political suicide for nothing. They are all cowards and don't have any guts. And the rest of us are stuck with this clique of a govenment for some more months. Gonzi is bad as a prim minister but he really had no choice regarding who to appoint as ministers. You are a bunch of naughty boys afraid of the big bad WOLF.

Ghaziz Franco ... il Malti jghid "Hanqa ta hmar qatt ma telghet is-sema"
•
The point is not whether Franco is to be believed anymore or not, the point is that just a couple of hours after abstaining Debono is ,again, creating doubts on his vote on a very crucial Money Bill. The question is; Can Gonzi govern like this?? Is this the clarity Gonzi wants? Is this the "vot car" he yearned for?
•
Dr Debono you had very valuable comments but unfortunately you blew it all up because Gonzi will not listen to you and you will be treated like you were before
•
X'gara llum fil-parlament..............................
Franco Debono qata' lsienu u tah lil Lawrence Gonzi biex juzah flok cinturin u jitghallaq bih 'politikament'.
•
Illum huwa jum ta' luttu ghal pajjizna ghax persuna b'intenzjonijiet tajba kien sfurzat jastjeni u ma wassalx il glieda tieghu sal-barkun meta fil-fond ta' qalbu jaf li GonziPN se jibqa ghaddej minn fuq kulhadd qisu gaffa.
•

•
Dr Franco Debono, after holding the country at your mercy for three whole weeks, it is time to shut up. Stop taking the country for a ride. We all now know who the real MEN are!
•
U ajma! Debono is just a bubble of soap no more no less. Tatux kasu! He lost the most vauable asset a politician has - credibility. He showed that he has put Party above his constitutents and above his country. He HAS been appeased - only we do not know how yet. It seems everyone has a price. And I thought that finally we have a politician with balls. How wrong I was. He deserves to be ignored by both Gonzi and Muscat and all of us as well.
•
The Prime Minister, last Sunday, "dismissed any suggestion of a temporary agreement which would allow the government to withstand Thursday’s no-confidence vote but leave the crisis unresolved.
“That is not a solution. Any solution must clarify things up to the end of this legislature, not just till next Thursday. We don’t just assume responsibility for a week.” Read the original here: http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120123/local/Any-solution-must-be-long-term-Gonzi.403443
If the Prime Minister's words are anything to go by, the solution he was hoping for has not materialised. The situation is as confused as it was, if not more, because there are now clear numbers. But PN supporters are not beginning to thing that an election as been averted.
But there's more.
In comments towards the beginning of January, Franco Debono had said that he will vote against the government as he has no confidence whatsoever in it. What made him change his mind? Journalists should not stop chasing both the PM and Dr Debono until they get to the truth. Something is not right here.
•
Dr. Debono, Kont nghamlek aktar bniedem ta stoffa. L-irgulija u il kelma ta l-irgulija ma titkejjilx. Int quddiem il poplu kollu ta dawn il gzejjer, ghal aktar min darba int IDDIKJARAJT li mal P.M. Gonzi ma tridx tahdem.Ghada x`ser tghamel ?Illum urejt lid dinja li int mhux ta min jghati kasek ghax iddur aktar min pinnur.( u fuq materja importanti ).Int gej mill l-istess pezza drapp ta Dr.Gonzi, u ghalhekk ser tibqaw imfakkrin li kontu kapaci izzommu lil poplu fuq anzjeta kbira ghal xahar. M`nAlla li ma ghadnhiex fiz zmien ta qabel ghax kontu tkunu responsabbli ghat tixrid tad demm.
•
Dr.Debono--THIS is exactly why your abstention is going to create even more uncertainity and instability. Everyone knows it, you know it, Muscat knows it and Gonzi knows it too!! You should have been clearer in your choice today and voted in favour or against the Government, either way the political instability would have abated and the country would have ,at least, had its destination for the immediate future clear. Clearly your intention seems to be one of holding the Government to ransom from one vote to another. If you really hate Gonzi's ways so much than you should have made it clear with your vote today. The fact that you haven't, and even worse, the fact that just hours after you're giving the impression that the money Bill vote is in the balance too is clear to ALL those who want to see. You want to push Gonzi to the cliff's edge but you just don't want to push him down!! Nice one!! Very below the belt!!

Lawrence Gonzi issa jrid joqghod mad-dijjarazzjonijiet tieghu ta' nhar il-Hadd f'Haz-Zebbug. Hemm iddikjara li l-ezitu tal-vot irid ikun CAR, li jizgura li l-gvern ikun jista jibqa jiggverna sal-ahhar tal-legislatura. U li ma jkun hemm ebda kundizzjoni biex tinstab soluzzjoni. L-astensjoni ta' Franco Debono tfisser li Gonzi TLEF IL-MAGGORANZA fil-parlament. Mela zgur li m'ghandu ebda garanzija li l-gvern jibqa jiggverna sal-ahhar tal-legislatura.
