Nationalist MP Franco Debono has revealed that in the coming days he will announce whether or not he will contest the general election under the banner of a new party.

Asked details about the possibility of contesting the coming elections by forming a party, Dr Debono replied, “I said what I wanted to say in my blog”. Franco Debono published in his blog post yesterday that he is considering contesting the election under a new party, possibly called 'the People’s Party’, but will reach a clear and final decision in the coming days.

“I had made all necessary preparations to go and chase my dream to work in Italy, but following a debate on local media, the people reached out to me in such a strong way that I had to change plans,” Dr Debono told di-ve.com.

In a comment Dr Debono gave to di-ve.com this morning, he said that in his life he had three dreams. To be a criminal defence lawyer, to be a Member of Parliament and to work in Italy. “The first two I have already achieved, although in each case I had to start from scratch. Nothing came easy, but I always made an effort to make my dreams a reality,” Dr Debono said.

The MP explained that people have had enough of the arrogance the country is governed with, including cases of TV presenters with a clear bias on public television. “Peppi Azzopardi is the person who advised Lawrence Gonzi in difficult times. He was also one of the people involved in a reconciliation attempt between myself and the PN. The bias of such individuals is clearly known,” Dr Debono added.
