JPO-Bartolo to present 'new and amended' divorce bill in Parliament today
The divorce debate is set to take a new dimension this week as a new and joint private member’s motion is expected to be presented in parliament today..
Informed sources have confirmed that nationalist MP Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando and labour MP Evarist Bartolo who are fronting the yes campaign to divorce will be presenting a jointly-signed private member’s motion that would supplant the one originally presented by Pullicino Orlando last July.
A press conference is scheduled to be held this afternoon in Parliament.
The content of the new motion remains unknown, however it is expected to cause further political debate as it has now departed from being a sole move by a PN backbencher, but also a joint political effort by two members from opposing parties.
According to the Yes Movement the new motion is expected to include a series of amendments that improve on the original one presented in July by Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando.
While Pullicino Orlando was unavailable for comment as he is away from the island, Evarist Bartolo told this paper that, “developments are expected,” stopping short of any additional information.
While the PN is still reportedly internally debating divorce, it is expected that the motion will be debated in Parliament this January, while it remains to be seen if Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi will be calling a referendum during 2011.
But as the Yes to divorce campaign has launched itself with a cross-party committee that also includes Alternattiva Demokratika Chairperson Michael Briguglio, an unofficial No Campaign is slowly emerging from within the PN ranks, fronted by father figure Eddie Fenech Adami.
MaltaToday is informed that Eddie Fenech Adami has taken it upon himself to free Prime Minister and present PN leader Lawrence Gonzi from the burden of fronting the No campaign.
Internally the PN has been urging Gonzi to be cautious on fronting the No campaign, warning him on the possibility of further unrest within his already shaky parliamentary benches.

This is gonna be EFA's slogan......
No to divorce, YES to annulment.
Bloody hypocrite.
•
If the NO campaign is fronted by EFA then it is a sure loser, since this is one opportunity for the hunters and trappers to get their back on his empty promisses of the past.
•
About the divorce it is all NONESENSE because no one can speak for those whose marrieage COLLAPSED not the governor nor the church you see what can happen if the marriage has broke up look what happened yesterday a woman was SHOOT DEAD and killed so EVERYONE leave the couples to try to solve thier problems

Can a good journalist asks in the name of the maltese people, our prime minister regard this= and also the opposition leader. I think the maltese people needs a good answer in details -especially from whom have done it! ask the real questions to them please, thanks!
about this:Malta shows what can happen when the Vatican effectively controls the country: it is the only member of the European Union that does not allow abortion or divorce.
Where Church and state are intertwined
The first article of Malta’s constitution proclaims “respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual”. The second makes Roman Catholicism the state religion....
Maltese marriage concordat (1993)
In a nutshell this concordat says that the Catholic Church sets the rules for marriage and that the state agrees. Even so, in accordance with Article 4.2 marriage partners must sign away their right to get the divorce that in Malta doesn't even exist! Presumably that's to bind people if civil divorce is ever introduced, or if they're thinking of getting divorced abroad.
also ask mr.eddie fenech adami , his role of knight of Malta -and we must hear him say with his own lips- to whom he swored loyalty first(WHEN SWORN AS A KNIGHT OF MALTA? IF THE POPE OR HIS COUNTRY!!! IF IT'S RECORDED IT'S BETTER!!!!!
