PN leader Lawrence Gonzi was given an enthusiastic welcome at the Junior College.
PN leader Lawrence Gonzi was given a warm welcome by sixth form students as he paid a visit to the Junior College in Msida.
After exchanging views and sharing a coffee with students in the college's canteen, Gonzi said that the Junior College which hosts 2,300 students was a clear example of the country's efforts in the educational field.
The Prime Minister said his administration "created jobs which offered a bright prospective to students attending different educational institutions."
Confirming Maltese politicians' pop star status, the Prime Minister was mobbed by tens of sixth form students, who chanted his name and PN slogans from present and past. Gonzi and PN secretary-general were asked to sign the party's electoral programmes and posed for pictures with students as they entered the college's canteen.
Although such educational institutions are fertile ground for radical political activism in Europe and beyond, Malta's post-secondary and tertiary institutions remain dominated by the PN and Labour and satellite student organisations.
Jurgen Balzan was a MaltaToday reported from 2011 to 2017.

Do they even realise how much debt they have been burdened with or the fact that they are being slowly poisoned through the power stations.
Do they know that the last prime minister to reduce stipends was Gonzi himself.
Do they know that the rule of democracy itself was ridiculed in Malta, by the PN.

Yes, we know. PBS has made it clear enough for us to hear their vociferous partisan chanting - of course the same was not meted out to Labour sympathizing students, in fact we didn't hear any of their chanting on TVM (alias NET 2). This is the sorry state of PBS, licking the boot of its PN master. The power of incumbency is at its peak! PBS will achieve nothing because the writng is clearly on the wall, the wind of political change is in the offing. The day will come when full accountability will be given.

BTW - and this is definitely no surprise - that this "spontaneous" welcome was organised on Facebook lest people believe the Junior College is a "Fortizza Laburista". Well it was clear from the start that the organizers were trying to "carbon copy" Joseph Muscat's reception. I wonder if Simon Busuttil intends to go to Junior College and "lecture" some of the students about copying!

DISGUSTING! ... I am disgusted by this show of political parochialism which should have no place in a place of study -- especially since these students for the most part are even too young to vote! ... More so since Mr Gonzi's visit seems to follow in Dr Muscat's footsteps -- at least Dr Muscat was gentleman enough to try and MUTE the enthusiatic welcome he was given by the students and one could see him on camera quietening the students down, contrary to Gonzi. ... A bad example for our youth. I am disappointed and disgusted. Such a show of partisan politic support should have no place in fair and neutral educational system; it is only divisive and without any added benefit.

Before I start reading articles I first check the author and when I see either Jurgen Balzan or James Debono I simply take it with a pinch of salt. Gonzi mob by at junior colledgewas the headline did the mob ask gonzi how 7000 jobs in IT did not materialise for one thing and why didn't Dolores Cristina not resign after losing millions of EU funds. But then nationalists teens are not thebrightest of lights or the sharpest of knives.

Gonzi did not enlighten the students about how he reduced students' stipends a few years' back, did he?
•
Take away the press and Gonzi's stooges from this picture and there does not seem to be too many people left.
