Looks like AST stole the show.

The banner says “40 sena” – well, that was in 2009, and would now be 42 years, which is the entire duration of the Gaddafi regime. Will they be celebrating again any time soon?

In reply to Adrian. What sort of business do they do in Libya?

In reply to Adrian.

Not only does he do business there, he also owns a house (villa by our standards) on the outskirts of Tripoli.

But what really inrigues me is this – and I wonder if Daphne can answer. What was a man like Guido de Marco doing befriending a tyrant like Gheddafi? We are talking about Malta’s foremost politician advocating human rights. A person known on the international stage to support the Palestinian cause because of human rights abuses by the occupying power of Israel.

So, how such a champion of individual fundamental freedoms and civil liberties call Gheddafi his friend is beyond me.

In reply to Adrian. Yeah I know he does business in Libya, but this was a conference organized by the PL and I am not so convinced that he should have been present. Not many commissioners were there for sure!

Lovely. Hw can we trust these Shylocks to make Malta’s foreign policy when they’re up to their necks in business interests?

Unbelievable! What was Johnny doing there? Shame! Shame! Shame!

[Daphne – He does business in Libya. But now that he is EU Commissioner he is at arm’s length, of course. His daughters do it.]
