It is well known to everyone that in this country there are very few matters on which consensus exists between the three political parties. Abortion is one of them. It is therefore a pity that the PN propaganda machine has used this issue to start a political terror campaign against AD and its leaders. I wonder whether the PN has any hearing problems because I am sick of hearing Dr Harry Vassallo and Dr Arnold Cassola reiterating their party’s stance on abortion.
It is a shame that Dr Simon Busuttil and Dr Tonio Borg, two men that until a week ago I considered gentlemen, were foremost in initiating this smear campaign. Dr Tonio Borg, who has in the past expressed personal admiration for Dr Cassola has not been able to resist pandering to his ultra-loyal crowd. Dr Busuttil had gained the admiration of many of us during his tenure at MIC, but under the PN umbrella, this is just impossible I guess!
To Dr Vassallo and Dr Cassola I have one message. Don’t you worry, like an ex-Maltese Prime Minister had the habit of saying “Fl-ahhar is-sewwa jirbah zgur!” (In the end who is right wins).
