As soon as I heard the news, the only thought that came to mind was: Mur afdah mas-Sargas.

Good riddance, pity our reputation went to the dogs thanks to him.

In reply to Interested Bystander. Don't be so sure. Watch out for updates on Malta Today and Super One's Bla Agenda and TX.

The EU have outed Dalli as crooked.

So that is him finished in Malta, yes?

It seems that the current political saga is no less than a coordinated conspiracy to overthrow Gonzi and led by John Dalli for financial gain all round. Shame.

It should be obvious (but evidently it is not) that apart from forcing Dalli’s resignation (justified or not) this is also a damaging serious attack on Malta’s reputation internationally, on its citizenry and on the prime minister who chose Dalli to represent Malta abroad ousting Dr Joe Borg who, up to then, had served us so creditably in Brussels.

In reply to Village. Business and politics have become one and the same with these individuals. It's the manifesto we're not allowed to see. As for going to great lengths, perhaps it's because Labour cannot lose this election as they cannot afford it. What other reason can there be?

The lodge of conspirators has a web of activity going and a hidden agenda. It is indeed a shame conspiring to bring down your own political party and going to such lengths in your endeavours and betrayals.

Business and politics must not go together. If they did, then we might as well go back to the command economy. Nationalize all again and let the government administrative do the wheeling and dealing.

Reading this article made me to knock my head against a concrete wall.

I just cannot forget the unnumbered mass meetings I went to between 1979-1987. Sunday after Sunday I used to drive to the meeting point, oblivious of my growing children and the need to give my family a Sunday rest that they deserved.

I used to relish the thought that John Dalli would be one of our stalwarts that would put back Malta on its feet. Do not get me wrong. I’m not saying that I ever regret supporting such a great party.

On the contrary, I feel so proud of the little I contributed to the total change we’ve experienced during the past 25 years.

But little did I ever think (and so did thousands) that I would ever read an article like this on one of the protagonists in whom we had so much faith. Every Palm Sunday and Good Friday we read that there was another man who concocted a plot for gain to bring down his Master. We all know his name. And after seeing what he had done, we all know what he did.

‘We have a major scandal on our hands, and the scandal will be greater still if we proceed as normal on the understanding that we expect no better of the likes of Labour, Malta Today and John Dalli.’

No wonder Labour spent the better part of 2012 gunning for an early election, it is a race against time. If one had to observe where Labour chooses to go on the rampage, there’s always a vested interest, if it can be called Labour at all.

The other two great projects, the democratisation of rehabilitation and parking carry similar implications, subjected to identical perverse mechanisms.

Joseph thinks this to be swell, the absence of commitment, let alone clear statements of intent not incompetence but sly calculation.

The repeated snide attempts at the financial sector, once a week on Maltastar, worrying.

Truly ‘un associazione a delinquere’, what remains to be seen is what ‘di stampo’ it is. The saddest thing is how they consider business to be inherently immoral.
