A rather strange interpretation of honesty

Published on www.gozonews.com Written by James A. Tyrrell

Alfred Sant says that Labour is always honest. He goes on to say, ‘We have understood the country’s need for change and we will give you that change’.

This is the same Alfred Sant who last October held a press conference at Hondoq ir-Rummien stating that the 85% of Qala residents opposed to the development were justified in their opposition.

The same Alfred Sant who called the marina project an exploitation of priceless land and not what Gozo or Qala needed, a stance I might add which won Labour a lot of support in the area. The same Alfred Sant who now says that he is in favour of a marina.

This seems to be a rather strange interpretation of honesty. In Great Britain we are used to politicians going back on their word. However they usually wait until they are elected before doing so!
