					<description><![CDATA[So whether Dacoutrous or Vella or Attard Montalto or Bianchi these people (and there are many more) all say that they were threatened to sign over their shares to the government for no compensation. 

What we must not forget however is that parliament enacted XLV 1973 before getting the perquisite 65% signatures from the shareholders so whether they signed or not the board had already been removed and the company was already suspended with Lino Spiteri appointed to take charge of all the company assets. 

This is very important as it shows that whether people signed under duress or not the original act to remove the board of directors was illegal as it went against the constitution.  

Everything that emanated from that Act is therefore unlawful and the Bank of Valletta is holding property that they have no title to hold.

Its not about Labour or Nationalist because we know they are both involved.  It&#039;s about Malta and the rule of law that MUST apply to all Maltese people.

The fact that people were coerced into signing shows the abusive behavior of government that acted institutionally when passing XLV 1973 and how this permeated down to the individual when pressure on them was made as witnessed above. 

We must not allow this to go on. We are only free if our freedom goes all the way to the rule of law.  If it stops at a despot acting in the National interest or otherwise then we are free no more.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As I saw the name Peter Dacoutros I was shocked.  How could a person who went through something like that want any kind of relationship with the Labour Party, its people and its television station.

Yes, probably he won&#039;t be kicked out of Super One cause the production house he works for is pouring money into the station.  He&#039;s charismatic and the people love him so they have to accept him.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The lack of comments on these letters from the usual contributors (I&#039;m confused, is it elfs, or elves??) is rather telling.

My general feeling towards Lino Spiteri - a very intelligent and rational man - is one of huge disappointment.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - They&#039;re not going to attack Peter Dacoutros because he&#039;s a Super One star. So right now, they&#039;re confused. You might have failed to notice - I certainly didn&#039;t - that Dacoutros didn&#039;t mention Lino Spiteri as the author of the piece.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
