Come clean, prime minister

-

I, a floating voter, simply cannot digest the drivel that comes out of government members’ mouths when they defend themselves, in parliament and elsewhere, against the disastrous public hospitals’ agreements.

I implore the prime minister to lay his whole pack of cards on the table so life can start afresh.

Let whoever was this debacle take punishment.

The opposition is doing its utmost so that those involved in this fiasco will be held accountabl­e.

However, the dilly-dallying being displayed by all concerned authoritie­s (the cabinet, the attorney general, the police commission­er, in particular) is not at all encouragin­g.

However, the truth will prevail. Of course, the longer it takes, the worse for the government.

ANTHONY SALIBA – St Paul’s Bay responsibl­e their share for of leader; Martin Luther King Jr, American civil rights leader; Nelson Mandela; South African anti-apartheid revolution­ary; Vaclav Havel, the Czech playwright and statesman; Simone Weil, the French philosophe­r and political activist; and Noam Chomsky, the American linguist and political activist.

They all showed that public awareness, grassroots movements, institutio­nal reforms, leadership changes and individual action can all challenge the status quo.

The collective power of people has proven time and again that change is achievable, even in the face of extreme misconduct by those in authority.

Unless, of course, stupidity reigns and the people are happy being robbed, blissfully living on the crumbs off the banquet table of their fat rulers.

Education cultivates critical thinking and can empower individual­s to manoeuvre the complexiti­es of life, make informed decisions and contribute to society.

RAY AZZOPARDI – St Julian’s
