political party
donations
come from
OVER 99% of donations made to Malta's
political parties go unattributed, accord-

rificing its future for short-term suc-
cess in the upcoming European Parlia-
ment election it will surely win.

takes by pandering to voters who would
have voted for us either way," a Cabinet
minister who spoke to this newspaper
on condition of anonymity said.
MaltaToday spoke to Labour Party in-
siders to understand the feeling follow-
ing a tumultuous week, which saw for-
mer prime minister Joseph Muscat and
others charged in court with corruption
over the Vitals hospitals deal.
