Sent in by Edward Mallia in the discussion about the 'fake signature' story. I'm putting it here as well because no one should miss this: I am not sure of this business of "copies" of signatures. According to the book The Panama Papers, which mentions the Leticia Montoya of the French video, on p.173 there [...]
You're not going to get this from the mainstream media for a while. And you're definitely not going to get it from the party political stations: both of them. Both parties, working on the same agenda, are propagating the idea that no one can speak about the little we have seen of the Egrant inquiry. [...]
This was sent in earlier today by Marion Pace Asciak, respected veteran PN stalwart of many years. I am an ex MNPN president, an ex PN administrative council member and an ex executive council member. I have formed part of the PN for decades and I have worked with Party leaders Eddie Fenech Adami, Lawrence [...]
Companies are formed by certificates of incorporation. Laws vary from one country to the other but the principle is that these documents that constitute a company are signed by at least one of its directors and filed with the registry office in the country where the company is set up. The certificate normally gives the [...]
Everyone’s greater than the party. This notion that the party is greater than anyone is a pre-modern residue that must be dispensed with if we are to ever become a modern democracy. We must outgrow even the ambition of forcing hypocrisy on people as a matter of course. Some greats of the Nationalist Party reminded [...]
No two ways about it: it’s a tough time to be standing up for what is right. The might of the axis that supports Joseph Muscat’s power is greater than it’s ever been and the noise out there silences most people who would otherwise speak out against it. Yesterday David Casa published a leaked FIAU [...]
The Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit, that has just been heavily admonished by the European Banking Authority as a joke and a poor excuse for a law enforcement agency, has threatened David Casa with criminal action. Ladies and gentlemen, we can no longer say this is fascism without the goose-steps. A government statement is now dangling [...]
Here Adrian Delia. Sit back and watch your mate gloat. Konrad Mizzi made a brief ‘address to the nation’ on the official Tourism Ministry to lie and smiling while he lies. He says the inquiry spoken about by the prime minister — and not yet published — exonerated him and shows up that what Daphne [...]
Members present and voting at yesterday's administrative council of the PN supported Adrian Delia's decision to fire Simon Busuttil. But two members were absent one out of protest. Both made public statements to clarify they are opposed to the decision to dismiss Simon Busuttil. Here's Graham Bencini: And here's Mario Rizzo Naudi: In the [...]
So far 7 MPs have declared their support for Adrian Delia's decision to fire Simon Busuttil. And 9 have declared their opposition to the idea saying the decision is not being taken in their name. Ten MPs have not yet declared themselves. The latest to join the dissenters objecting to the dismissal of Simon Busuttil [...]
Paula Mifsud Bonnici makes an interesting point. If Simon Busuttil has to resign for asking Joseph Muscat to give account of the corruption his government was and is mired in, then the entire Nationalist Party should. Including many in yesterday's administrative council meeting who called for Simon Busuttil to leave. After all, and this appears [...]
David Casa joins 6 members of the PN Parliamentary Group to tell Adrian Delia his decision to force Simon Busuttil out of the PN Parliamentary Group is not in their name. We work together, win together, fight together, & when all else fails, take the fall together. Division only leads us down an insurmountable slope. [...]
After Mario De Marco, Claudette Buttigieg and Karol Aquilina: #notinmyname#strongertogether — Jason Azzopardi (@AzzopardiJason) July 23, 2018
#notinmyname #strongertogether — Karol Aquilina (@KarolAquilina) July 23, 2018
Statement by civil society organisations earlier today: #occupyjustice and Awturi are very worried that a political alliance has formed between the government and the opposition. A political alliance that is ensuring the truth remain hidden and that justice isn’t served. Yesterday, this alliance was unreservedly solidified by the declarations of opposition leader Adrian Delia. It [...]
Here's a statement issued by the Caruana Galizia family after this weekend's events: Malta needs the whole truth and Joseph Muscat still holds the key Fifteen months after Magistrate Bugeja’s inquiry was initiated, the Maltese public is expected to simply accept as fact that we will never know for whom Egrant Inc. was set up. [...]
Yesterday I wrote that Adrian Delia has not just put a challenge to Simon Busuttil. He has thrown down the gauntlet to all PN MPs, MEPs, officials, activists, members and voters. They need to decide and can no longer afford to be ambiguous in the interests of some mythical unity. The members of the administrative [...]
This is my article published in yesterday's The Sunday Times. I handed this in before the Friday deadline. Of course, the people's interest, and mine was elsewhere by Saturday when we were told by the government it was getting ready to tell us what it wanted us to know about Egrant and so on. But [...]
"'If someone tried to shut her up, if someone tried to stop her, she'd just fight back even harder,' (Daphne Caruana Galizia's) son says. 'That was her spirit.'" That's from a feature on NPR broadcast this weekend. Here's a link to the broadcast (and a transcript) on the Michigan State University's broadcast service website.
