mt SURVEY SUNDAY • 23 FEBRUARY 2025 | maltatoday 12 chael Falzon comes in third with 6.15. Health Minister Jo Etienne Abela and Education Minister Clifton Grima received a rating of 6.1 and 6.03 respectively. The rest of the ministers scored below six. The survey indicates overall satisfaction with the Cabinet's performance, as all ministers score above the five-point pass mark. Additionally, 10 out of 16 ministers score above the pass mark among non-voters. However, the survey also highlights a number of minis- ters scraping through, with Ag- riculture Minister Anton Refalo and Justice Minister Jonathan Attard hitting the bottom two spots, scoring 5.05 and 5.07 re- spectively. Other struggling ministers include Planning and Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri (5.28), Housing Minister Roderick Galdes (5.31), and Transport Minister Chris Bonett (5.38). This suggests that ministers overseeing more contentious sectors – such as planning, transport, housing, and justice – are rated less positively than those in less controversial port- folios. Notably, Jonathan Attard ap- pears to bear the brunt of the controversy surrounding the reforms to magisterial inquir- ies, which took political centre stage while the data was being collected. While Attard's low rating among PN voters is to be ex- pected, he is also the low- est-ranked minister among current non-voters. The less favourable ratings for Gozo heavyweights Clint Camilleri and Anton Refalo come in the wake of the PL's declining electoral fortunes in Gozo and are also reflected in their relatively low scores among Gozitan respondents. However, the survey confirms the popularity of Health Minis- ter Jo Etienne Abela, who also hails from Gozo.
