Debono confirms he will vote with government tonight
Nationalist backbencher Franco Debono says his issues were on ‘justice and home affairs’ and will vote with government on Budget measures because he agrees with them.

PN MP Franco Debono.
Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi can count on his maverick backbencher's vote in parliament tonight, who made it clear that he will vote with government as the House will resolve to approve the Budget Implementation Bill.
Speaking this morning on TVAM, Debono accused the media of speculating about his vote, and stressed that his issues with government were focused on "certain issues", namely justice and home affairs matters.
"This vote should have been brought before parliament a long time ago," Debono said, adding that this would have eliminated speculation and uncertainty which ensued in the country. "I agree with the Budget measures," he said.
"Don't blame it on Debono," the MP told TVAM, as he answered questions by presenters Pierre Portelli and Joe Mifsud on his previous statements that he was withdrawing his support to government.
Debono said that he was "satisfied" with Chris Said being appointed as justice minister, and that the Prime Minister heeded his calls for a separation of the two ministries.
However, Debono said that he seeks to push ahead with his proposed reforms in both justice and home affairs, and called for urgent action to be taken, and to have all anomalies removed for the benefit of strengthening democracy.
Regarding Parliament, Debono also welcomed the introduction of video streaming of committee and plenary.

Jagħmel x'jaghmel Franco ftit jinteressana, imma minn Franco ikkonfermajna hafna affarijiet li diga konna nafu u kienu jidhru, imma ma kellniex konferma. Issa nafu li Gonzipn ma huwiex demokratiku, nafu li l-Ministri Gatt u Mifsud Bonnici ghamlu hafna żbalji u li jmisshom li ilhom li rreżenjaw, nafu li RCC ghalkemm ma huwiex elett mill-poplu jmexxi l-Cabinet, nafu li Malta hija mmexxija minn oligarkija u mhux demokrazija. Dawn kollha kkonfermahom Franco, u hadd ma merieh jew gielu jirtirhom, anzi ghamilnilu zizi sakemm ikkonfermajna li sejjer jivvota ma Gonzipn.
Dawn issa l-anqas Franco ma jista jirtirhom, u ghandna l-isbah xalata bihom.

Kif int Sur Giovann, Tidher wiccek ghad dawl,ghax Franco ser idur dawra durella, bhal ma jaghmel is soltu il P.M. mahbub taghna.Kemm ser tigi tiswa lil poplu Malti din id dawra ghad inkunu nafu, ghax id dnub ma jorqodx. Franco mhux lil tal lejber ghamel il hsara, imma l-ewwel lil skoss nazzjonalisti ,ghax issa iridu jghejdulu SORRY talli gibdulu ghanke lil familja.Irid jara kif ser igib dawk il voti li intifu fl`ahhar elezzjonijiet tal kunsilli, il hsara li ghamel ,ghax gab il pajjiz `on tension` tista tistaqsi lil tal lukandi, hwienet, u dawk li ghandhom x`jaqsmu mat turismu bhali, ghx kemm il darba sibna turisti jghejdulna x`inhu jigri fil parlament Malti....Ta bil haqq, ir raguni li meta il bloggers laburistima ma jirrispondukx tkun ghax li l-editur jiddispjacih ghalik u iwaqqaf il kummenti ghax tkun qlajt kritika bizzejjed.

Eddyjoyce, jiddispjacini, imma ghandek zball ohxon hafna. Ma kienx is-salvatraditur li tana l-gvern fit-98, imma l-MAGGORANZA ASSOLUTA ta' izjed minn 13000 vot. Wara biss 20 xahar il-poplu ghamel att ta' NDIEMA enormi u minn kwazi 8000 vot plus gabu b'izjed minn 13000 minus. Il-poplu f'erbat ijiem induna kemm kien ghamel zball kbir meta vvota lejber.
•
I used to support Franco Debono. But the truth is that not one from the pathetic, inept, unaccountable for anything, of the oligarchy, resigned and his own party called him every name in the book and still he there licking ass!!!
•
Ghandek zball ohxon eddyjoyce fl-1998 kienet il-MAGGORANZA ASSOLUTA TA' IZJED MINN 13000 vot li taghtna l-Gvern. Mhux it-tradi/salvatur.

No body would be really surprised if Dr Debono would not support the Opposition censure motion against Dr Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici.
Luke Camilleri •
What's in it for him?
A U-turn that surpasses even Dr. Gonzi's, the Leader of the World in U-Turns!

Debono said that he was "satisfied" with Chris Said being appointed as justice minister, and that the Prime Minister heeded his calls for a separation of the two ministries.

Franco jista jivvota kif irid u kif jogghbu. L-elezzjoni xorta qeghda ftit xhur il boghod. Li hu interessanti f'din is-soap opera Franco/Gonzi hija l-borom li inkixfu u id-diskors dispregjattiv li intqal u li ser jibqa hemm jaghmel x'jaghmel Dr.Gonzi.

Dak hu l-argument tieghek ? Anzi il PN zid il pensjoni anki ghal dawk il maltin li jihdu il penzjoni ingliza minghajr tnaqqis ta xejn.

Franco Debono jibza li jaqa l-Gvern ghax huwa cert li mhux se jkun fit team ghal elezzjoni imma floku se jkun Schiavone. Franco jibza li ma jibqax fil limelight. Tajjeb jghidilna kemm zdiedu l-klijenti min kemm ilu fix xena? Wara l-elezzjoni Franco jintessa kompletament bhal avukat tar rahal.

U jekk ma jaccettaw'se jaqbad jghid u jaghmel Franco Debono ?????

If franco Debono votes with the Government on the budget bill as he just stated, he would be in line as what he agreed upon last December to vote in favour, but if he votes with the Govt regarding the money bill for the new parliament than he would be joining the clique and oligarchy of Gonzi PN. SVP my foot, this is all another twist of money spending spree and another trick to satisfy the few friends on us tax payers. Do not forget who is involved in this project and it looks like some of the finance is all a contribution towards the PN machine for the coming election.
•
Franco is just a voice in the wilderness nobody takes notice of him anymore.Lot of bla bla but no substance.
•
What's the surprise? We knew all the way that you only have bluff and nothing else. No serious Maltese ever believed that you will ever vote against whom you do not believe in, after all that is what the hardcore of the PN is made off and nothing else. It would be nice to know what made this Buffon made him change his mind and all of a sudden is supporting whom he had swear publicly said will not suppor. Only one thing is for certain, just pack and go, you are not trusted anymore.

Will we ever know what made Debono change his tune and draw his horns in?
Was it the carrot or the stick? Or both?

U min qal li ghawn Malta ghandha bzonn ninvestu fil `Wind Farms `?....Bit tidwir ta`Dr. Franco Debono BISS nistaw niggeneraw eletriku ghal sena shiha ghal pajjiz kollu. Mhux fuq l-issue tal budget qeghed nirreferi, pero diga beda jimmolla fuq l-issues li tant ghamluh POPPOLARI....Hallina l-anqas haqq il hsara li ghamilt u ghadek qeghed taghmel lil pajjiz....Hallieh ikompli lil gvern...mhux anqas min sena ohra fadallu? Missek ghamilt hekk min meta beda, u mhux issa. Ara fil legistratura l-ohra...halqek maghluq bqajt, kemm int u kemm min ghamel bhalek..ghax kien hemm 5 siggijiet aktar...
•
oh how sad for the usual people...
no election tomorrow :'(
•
U x'se jaghmel Franco DEbono fuq il-vot ghal li Special Purpose Vehicle li issa ddikjarat bhala money bill ? Lest li jivvota mal-gvern ghal din il-hnizrija li se tintuza biex jinheba d-dejn tal-gvern, u uliedna jigu mcahhda minn mijiet ta' miljuni ta' ewros - €260 miljun fi 30 sena ?????? Issa naraw kemm ipoggi l-interess ta' pajjizna qabel l-interess tal-KLIKKA li hu stess ammetta li qed tmexxi lill-GonziPN !!!!!!!!!!

Jiena ma nafx x'qed jistenna l-poplu minn dan Debono, ghal-ewwel kont nghid ghandu ragun jaghajjat u jissahhan ghax laqqat go rasu u kelli kull simpatija ghlih, imma nahseb li ghalkemm huwa Avukat impekkabli ghad m'ghandux il-grinta u d-determinazzjoni li kien wera Dom Mintoff fi-zmien Sant. Dak fil-budget ghalkemm kien jaqbel dejjea stjiena u x'gie l-ewwel cans ta' votazzjoni barra l-budget ivota kontra mall-ewwel. Ghax bil-paroli biss ma tasal imkien u ma dan il-gvern izjed u izjed. Ma tarax fit ilu kien hemm xi hadd li talab lil Debono (skond Debono stess) l-ghajnuna halli jirranga l-Ministeru li kien ghadu kemm inghata u llum harge jghid li jaqbel ma kif GonziPN qed jistma lil Debono. Dan naheb bhal ma jghidu li l-kelb iktar ma ssawtu iktar jigi jifrah bik.
•
Sur edituri tal-Maltatoday: jimporta jekk minn issa 'l quddiem kull meta franco debono jiftah halqu, jhedded, jitkellem, ipacpac, iparla, ipetpet, jigi intervistat,jidher fuq it-TV, iqasqas, jilghabha tal-bravu u tal-cowboy, jipprova jissodisfa l-megalomanija enormi li hakmitu ..... tinjorawh darba ghal dejjem ghax issa xebbaghna, dejjem irid jilghabha tal-protagonist biex jiehu s-centrestage!!!! Sew gonzipn kif ukoll joseph muscat jidher li issa qieghduh wahda f'postu u sew -- jinjorawh u jhalluh jinqela b'zejtu. Kif jghidu bl-ingliz: veru kaz ta' EMPTY VESSELS MAKE MOST SOUND - ghalkemm forsi ta' min jibdilha u jibda jghid: empty debonos make most sound.
