Jason Azzopardi was wondering why he was being taunted by the likes of Simon Mercieca with a tu quoque about his supposed relations with Yorgen Fenech. He didn’t know the guy. Never met him. And has been busy these past three years risking life and limb to get him to serve the longest prison term [...]

Dear Adrian, Let me say it at the beginning. As a man and a lawyer, I respect you. You know the reasons so I will not elaborate. But unfortunately you do not have what it takes to be a political party leader. To be leader of a party you need to have a vision. You [...]

There are no certain outcomes in elections. Adrian Delia lost the confidence of the majority of his parliamentary group, of the executive committee of his party and, after Saturday’s ballot on whether to call a fresh election for his post, a majority of the party’s general council, its highest organ.

Indeed, during this past week, we had enough news to keep us occupied reading inside under the air conditioner and forgetting the sweltering heat outside. As October looms, money laundering prosecutions remain worryingly low ahead of a crucial second Moneyval [...]

The ultimate gaslighting

Adrian Delia’s first marriage is far from the first or the last to breakdown. And if work had something to do with it, it won’t be the first or the last either. But for him to take the floor yesterday at the PN’s general council and try to guilt councillors into thinking his marriage broke [...]
