Nixon's choice In spite [...]

Myriam Dalli says she's angry about what happened. Saviour Balzan says Joseph Muscat must go. Chris Fearne says it's a serious situation.

Mario Vella launched Brikkuni's new record at what he rightly thinks is the right time. "I don't want to live in Dubai. Or Singapore." https://youtu.be/OlDprxtfJoo

Not to mention Lawrence Cutajar's. Here's a blast from the past.  

Yesterday Karl Stagno Navarra, our very own Comical Ali, made a plea for sympathy for the wrong man altogether. It's incredible how capable tyrants can be of utterly misjudging the public mood. He asked his viewers to spare a thought for poor Joseph Muscat, he who has to resign after perpetrating the worst cover up [...]

Joseph Muscat’s corrupt regime bound crooks together with the cement of mutual blackmail. It was strong like a fasces, seemingly indestructible. But we held out hope that if we were there when a crack appears, it would all come tumbling down. It seems it fell to a dog from the K9 unit, an un-compromised, uncompromising [...]

Italian journalist Sandro Ruotolo who is in Malta as a representative of the Italian union of journalists has posted on Facebook his experience yesterday night outside and insight the office of Malta's prime minister. This is my translation: "Malta is under shock. During the night Keith Schembri, former chief of staff to the prime minister, [...]

The Malta Employers Association has asked the Malta Council for Economic and Social Development (the forum for employers' bodies, labour unions and the government) to suspend its agenda to discuss the present political situation.

Judge Edwina Grima today quashed an appeal by three government ministers (one of them since resigned) that attempted to throw out a magistrate's order for a criminal inquiry into their conduct when three public hospitals were sold to shady interests. Edward Scicluna, Chris Cardona and Konrad Mizzi have now exhausted all legal vehicles to seek [...]

The Italian Federation of the Italian Press (FNSI) has dispatched a delegation of two award-winning Italian journalists – Paolo Borrometi and Sandro Rutolo – that are in Malta to participate in civil society actions demanding truth and justice for Daphne Caruana Galizia. Paolo Borrometi and Sandro Ruotolo brought a message from Beppe Giulietti, president of [...]

The Times of Malta's editorial makes a strong and succinct case why the position of the prime minister is untenable. Do please read it. But then it proceeds to conclude with an explicit call to action: "In such circumstances, to say that he must resign is to miss the point. Yes, Muscat must go. But [...]

Leading German newspaper Die Welt had a damning verdict of what is going in Malta right now: "Malta is a mafia state, as the past few days have shown. That is a shame for Europe. It is now up to the EU institutions, which for too long ignored the flaws in the rule of law and the [...]

The UK Times leading editorial this morning is about Malta. Of course. It concludes as follows: "Mr Muscat insists that this is no reason to question the independence of the investigation, which he says he is confident will solve the murder. He also insists that there will be no immunity for anyone implicated in the [...]
