‘No limit’ to Labour’s dishonesty, PN says in denial of Gonzi’s ‘sick’ comment

The Nationalist Party has denied claims that Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi described Labourites as a ‘disease’ during a radio programme.

“He was commenting on party policies, and Gonzi said Labour was implementing the wrong policy that damages the country and gives the wrong advice to the people when important choices had to be made,” the PN said in a statement.

Labour’s youth section Forum Zghazagh Laburisti this morning ‘condemned’ what it described as “insensitive and shameful” comments by Gonzi, whom it accused of saying that Labour was a ‘disease’ and of saying that whatever the Labour Party did in history was bad.

The PN said Labour’s record had brought unemployment in the 1970s, 1908s and even in its two-year government in 1996, record taxes and inflation.
