During a heated debate on TVM's Xtra, Labour Party representatives found themselves on the defensive as questions surrounding the ethical conduct of tourism minister Clayton Bartolo dominated the discussion. While PL speakers aimed to shift the focus towards the government’s achievements and broader priorities, the uncomfortable tone in defending Bartolo’s position was evident. PL whip Naomi Cachia emphasised the government’s commitment to progress, highlighting recent milestones such as the 2050 Vision and the latest budget. While never defending Bartolo nor Camilleri, Cachia defended the scrutiny process introduced by the Labour government, noting it represents a significant shift from previous administrations. Twenty days have passed since tourism minister Clayton Bartolo and Gozo minister Clint Camilleri were found to have violated ministerial ethics and abused their positions of power.
