Applause and boos filled St George’s Square in Valletta as hundreds of Nationalist and Labour supporters greeted their MPs when they left parliament this afternoon.
The motion was defeated with the Speaker’s casting vote. Asked for a comment as soon as he walked out of the House, Franco Debono, who abstained on the motion, would not give one.
There were boos and shouts of tpaxxihomx as he was whisked to a waiting car which was driven away immediately.
Beppe Fenech Adami said on his way out that the situation was still one where Opposition leader Joseph Muscat was just nearly a Prime Minister.
Home Affairs Minister Carm Mifsud Bonnici would not comment.
Police presence outside the Palace is heavy.
