LABOUR MPs are facing
an angry backlash after op-
posing a public inquiry into
Jean Paul Sofia's death, rep-
resenting a turning point for
the Abela administration.
The backlash is not con-
fined to middle of the road

der fire even from grassroots
supporters.
A handful of MPs who
spoke to MaltaToday on
condition of anonymity
to be able to speak freely,
reported receiving angry
emails and messages from
constituents following
Wednesday's parliamentary
vote.
