Dalli obtained 5000 votes in 2008 and, in a democracy where MPs are selected by the electorate, votes mean power. Dalli has long been powerful because of his popular support and you cannot just kick out such a man.

Ilni ma naqra tahwid bhal dan zmien twil.

Nahseb li bhala gurnalist Noel Grima kellu jghidilna wkoll x’kien qed jigri dak iz-zmien. Probabilment Gonzi ma qal xejn ghal-istess raguni tas-sur Grima.

Mhux facli li gurdien idendel il-golgol m’ghonq qattus li jkun dejjem imgewwah.

Tania, you must be a day old ie born yesterday. This is the guy who, when asked what he was doing with his brother Bastjan running around in the ministerial car whilst on an official visit to Libya said, without turning a hair “giving him a lift”.

I can’t think why it took so long for others to cotton on. I had seen through Dalli way back – in the early 90s, when I still had to bribe Customs officials to get normal industrial supplies into the country. He was minister responsible.

Tania, you mean well.

However you are also rather naive.

Also please note that the guy is not being accused.

He has been found guilty by the relevant organ of the European Union following an intensive investigation.

As far as the Commission is concerned this is the end of the story.

In fact the commissioner from Malta is Tonio Borg.

This pending approval, as always.

By sending Dalli to Brussels the PM covered his arse and helped f**k an entire country’s reputation internationally.

The very high risk of this saga ending up the way it did was known to all and sundry.

If this is not gross error of judgement, I do not know what is.

Imma darba hanzir dejjem hanzir. What an absolutely disgusting man.

Maybe the prime minister though Dalli would be satisfied with the prestigious position he was entrusted with which, presumably, came with a very substantial paycheck too.
