Times of Malta points out that he had just announced his intention to run for election as party general secretary. The Malta Independent describes Gouder as a long-time PN stalwart. In-Nazzjon says he was a man of principle who put the people's welfare first.
In other stories, Times of Malta, MaltaToday and l-orizzont report that a magisterial inquiry debunked lies about a man's sudden death while awaiting hospital treatment and no negligence by medical staff was found.
In-Nazzjon reports that people accused of benefit fraud have named former MP Silvio Grixti in court. It also says that a man suspected of having delivered a threatening note to European Commissioner Helena Dalli has been arrested.
