In reply to Bus Driver. @Interested Bystander: As EU Commissioner, John Dalli is not a Maltese politician.

Ah, jahasra, they should have put a huge letter ‘D’ instead of those stars on the podium.

He is known as “the Maltese EU Commissioner” so what he says is read as Malta’s real sentiment towards Libya.

This is the man who, as Malta’s Foreign Affairs Minister, lobbied hard for the embargo against Libya to be lifted and who had (ahem) business interests in that country until he just before he was appointed EU Commissioner.

In reply to Bus Driver. Has ANY Maltese politician ever resigned over a point of principle or a conflict of interest? I never heard of one because it never happens here, does it?

In reply to .Angus Black. Does anyone honestly see Dalli calling it quits and walking away?

The Swiss paper got it wrong: Dalli is not Malta’s representative. Maybe the government should ask for a disclaimer to be published/broadcast every time Dalli speaks.

Looks like Dalli will self-destruct before Gaddafi (whom he defends), does.

How much more bad press will he get before calling it quits or gets his walking papers?
