VALLETTA, Malta - Some 4,000 angry protesters in Malta who want the prime minister to immediately step down briefly blocked him and his party’s lawmakers from leaving parliament on Monday, amid high public pressure over an investigative journalist’s car-bomb murder. The country’s main opposition Nationalist party announced a boycott of parliament for as long as Muscat remains in power.

On Monday opposition Nationalist leader Adrian Delia seized on Muscat’s defiant insistence to remain in office several more weeks.
