In reply to Manuel.

Actually, on reflection, I should not have written that Ronnie Pellegrini used to personify much that was deplorable about the MLP. It would have been more accurate and fairer to say that he was associated with certain deplorable and attitudes and behaviour.

I haven’t had occasion to speak with him for more than 30 years, so I don’t know what he really is up to these days.

[Daphne – What he’s up to? He seems to spend his time flirting with Robert Musumeci on Facebook and joining groups like LGBT Labour.]

Certainly, from a distance, it looks as if he has changed for the better. I sincerely hope so. He often struck me as a follower rather than a leader, but he attached himself to the wrong crowd and plunged headlong into whatever his cronies were doing without any reflection at all. He was never half as bad as many make him out to be.

[Daphne – Men with weak characters. They’re the WORST.]

Daphne, there must be two Ronnies. Saviour Balzan’s words, MaltaToday, 6 July 2008:
“The two Ronnies
…At the same time, Jason Micallef must really be the closest to JPO when it comes to being a complete reject.
Still campaigning actively with delegates for the future post of secretary general, he remains at loggerheads with present and past senior Labour figures; and though Jason will be credited for taking Alfred Sant to new heights, he will also be accused of taking Labour to new lows.
That, I guess, is the problem when you have a secretary general who lacks the political depth and appreciation for history in a party as big and complex as the Labour party.
The last time I talked to Jason he told me that the story that we carried about Ronnie Pellegrini was wrong.
I do not think so. A problem with details, perhaps, but not wrong.
But then, if anyone has any doubts they should read through the news story on Ronnie.
Unlike Jason I remember Ronnie in years gone by. When Jason was hardly a teenager, Ronnie Pellegrini was in his prime, a sidekick to one of Labour’s most unforgettable nightmares. He was there when Lorry bulldozed his way through everything and always had his way.
And Ronnie was not only his lieutenant with direct access to many of Lorry’s excesses; but probably quite aware of how, when and how many of those excesses where committed.
That he continued to survive politically, and more importantly, failed to get hammered by the media when he took the role of assistant to Jason Micallef, beats me.
Now Jason has said that Mr Pellegrini, who has an office at Mile End large enough to dance the waltz; who is heard screaming and phoning from his room; who signs circulars on Jason’s behalf; who accompanied Alfred Sant, Jason Micallef and Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi everywhere, is not an employee.
Well, that may be the case. Which means there are two Ronnies, and we should really all thank the GWU for looking the other way while one of its paid up employees spends all his friggin’ time at Mile End.”

I wonder how Ronnie Pellegrini fits in with a movement of moderate progressives.

Is he paid a salary by the Labour Party? His friend Jason Micallef says not.

I don’t think Joseph Muscat should be hanging around with somebody like him. The MLP will never gain an ounce of credibility with people like Ronnie Pellegrini still hanging around and apparently calling the shots to an extent that the leader is driven by this same person to make amends with the former secretary general.

This is the same Ronnie who gloated when employees were suspended after the famous Imnarja protest. Sick bag indeed.
