Tabib Silvio Grixti who resigned as an MP on Monday posted a message on Facebook explaining the reason for his decision to quit Parliament.
He said his priorities go beyond politics and he wants to dedicate his energies to his patients while he will continue to support the Labour Party and Prime Minister Robert Abela.
“ĦBIEB TIEGĦI.
Il-prijoritajiet tiegħi fiż-żmien li ġejimorru lil hinn mill-ħajja politika.Għalhekk infurmajt lill-Prim Ministru lise nkun ged nirrizenja minn MembruParlamentari.
Ma rridx nokkupa siġġu parlamentarif’perjodu fejn mhux se nkun iffukat100% biex nirrapreżenta I-kostitwenti u pazjenti li tant huma għal qalbi, illi tant nirrispetta u dejjem irrispetawni lura.
Għint u rrid nkompli ngħin fiċ-ċokon tiegħi permezz tal-professjoni lin-nies u pazjenti minn kull lokalita’ li tant jkunu f’tant bżonn.
Filwaqt li m’hemm ebdadubju li I-paijiż jeħtieg il-PartitLaburista u I-Prim Ministru RobertAbela biex jibqgħu jmexxuh ‘il quddiem.
Grazzi”.
