Don Emmanuel Mallia, the Police Minister, is reported as having said in parliament last night that “he had entered politics only
recently, after having built up his legal career and seen the Nationalist Party destroy the ideals he had fought for.”

Clearly, he prefers the ideals of Joseph Muscat and the Labour Party.

What are Manuel Mallia’s ideals? I am at a loss to understand. So far, all I see is money, money and more money, with added jackboots, guns and uniforms.

If you have different ideas let me know.

    “he had entered politics only recently, after having built up his legal career and seen the Nationalist Party destroy the ideals he had fought for.”

    Back under the Nationalist government when Codruta and he had just got married or were planning to, Manuel had wanted to open a pharmacy for her.

    But there was a problem. Either her Romanian qualifications were not accepted, or no pharmacy licence came through. And so suddenly, Manuel saw that the PN was destroying all the ideals he had worked for.

  2. Manuel says:

    Spot on, Daphne. The ideals he fought for were always founded on how to make money. No wonder he does not see eye-to-eye with the PN anymore.

    Many of the switchers voted for Muscat precisely because they saw of putting their hands on every euro they could manage to find. We all know where the iced-buns went and to whom.

    Mallia not only got his iced-bun from Muscat by directly eliminating his nr. 1 opponent – the Magistrate’s brother – but he also has Muscat by the balls.

    It is going to be a bit difficult to establish the nature of Manwel Mallia’s ideals, because he has the habit of keeping them hidden under the mattress.

  4. Tabatha White says:

    Part of his ideals must be how to get what he wants, how he wants, removing the need to go to court for it, to have near- perfect control over information sources and data points and to remove as many references on the web over any past 7 days that paint him as he is.

    Was Manuel Mallia once a PN activist ?

    • Jack Beans says:

      Apparently he was at Tal-Barrani. But then so was I and thousands of others who were fed up with the absolute arrogance of Labour’s (mis)government in the 80s and before. I wasn’t a PN activist and so were many others I saw there.

      • ciccio says:

        Even the police of the Labour regime who were shooting on innocent people – they were at tal-Barrani too.

      • ciccio says:

        And the Labour thugs, they were at tal-Barrani as well.

        I remember Lou Bondi crediting Eddie Fenech Adami with the phrase: Minn tal-Barrani ghal-Brussel.

        It’s a pity, because this Labour government of Joseph Muscat is taking Malta back from Brussels to Tal-Barrani.

  6. Tabatha White says:

    Officially putting Malta on a par with Israel/ Palestine, where one of the Maltas becomes stateless.

  7. A V says:

    Nah… he entered politics when he understood that he needed the protection a seat in parliament offers. And no one has the power to take that seat away from him because before joining the PL he made sure to be fore-armed with bits of information about those who count.

  8. Mila says:

    Great, the fifteen day deadline for the inquiry ordered by Muscat have given Mallia fifteen days of grace not to answer questions.

  9. Be-witched says:

    His ideals were simply those of becoming Don Manuel, the don who seized infinite power over the Police, Army and Public Broadcasting…effectively becoming Prime Minister in all but name.

  10. Francesca says:

    Besides money and drugs don’t forget sex.

    Manuel Mallia seems to have all the vices covered.

  11. gaetno pace says:

    What a liar! According to himself he based his election campaign on the cardinal point that he is going to teach us a new way of doing politics, what politics should be like and how to do politics in a novel way.

    Having failed completely in this he is now looking for the sacrificial lamb to burden with the expiation of his failures, his sins and immoralities.

    Like Nero who torched Rome and watched it burn, he turns to the PN and points his finger at them, accusing them of destroying his ideals. I think that PN were more Christian than that and destroyed his plan of laundering his money or putting it to sleep in the darkness under his mattress.

  12. queasy says:

    Anyone who has a little bit of common sense as well as a sense of decency cannot understand why the PM has not sacked Manuel Mallia.

    The only reason that makes sense is that the PM is really afraid of him or of people close to him who feel very comfortable with the minister.
