Kulħadd - Prime Minister to announce divorce referendum for this year

In the coming days, Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi will be announcing that the divorce referendum is to take place this year.

The Labour organ Kulħadd reports that the decision was taken in a bid to deviate the public’s attention from the controversy surrounding government and the Minister’s pay rise. Apparently, Gonzi’s original plan was to announce the referendum with the general election but has now been given the advice to move the referendum to this year.
