Malta Today’s editor, Matthew Vella: now he’s an apologist for the cause of the biggest scandal to hit the European Commission in years. I wonder how that feels.for this caped crusader.
I have just received a mass-mailing text message from Malta Today telling me to watch out for an exclusive interview with John Dalli in tomorrow’s edition.
Gosh, I bet it’s going to be really incisive. Be sure not to fall on one of your sharp and probing questions, boys. You might end up at the health centre, needing stitches.

If this is not the edition where he admits to being corrupt, then buying the newspaper tomorrow continues to be a waste of money.
Mr Matthew Vella should have replied to the question by the presenter of TV Hmmmm when he was asked where he got the e mail from He never replied and tried to side issue the question .
When was it last that Net TV had invited John Dalli on one of its discussion programs ? Will anyone who follows Net TV please provide the information requested.
When was it last when we saw a picture (let alone an interview) of John Attard Montalto on One TV?
I clearly recall Gonzi trying to rehabilitate Dalli in one of his Sunday meetings.Dalli sat next to PM Gonzi.
And only some days ago Dalli was invited on Bondi + , and declined to attend .
It’s possible that NET asked him to attend its programs, but the Malta Labour Party continues to maintain that it has the right to send anyone of its choice to represent it.
Nice one Ciccio.
Ah, so is this how John Dalli is planning to go about protecting his reputation and that of the EU Commission since resigning?
In my view, the only decent way that an EU Commissioner should go about protecting his reputation, and that of the others involved in the case or whom he represents, is to stay away from the media and prepare his defence against legal action that may be brought against him in court, and then, to show in court, with logical arguments and evidence, that he is innocent and not guilty.
Any contact with the media should be limited to those cases where Super One reporters chase after the former EU Commissioner, sticking their microphone in his face. And in this case, his only reply to their stupid questions should be to suggest to them the right place where to stick that microphone.
And I have to add that the former Commissioner should be advised instead that he should insist that he is eagerly awaiting a court case to prove his innocence and to defend the reputation of Malta and its Prime Minister who showed confidence in his appointment, as well as the EU Commission.
I see the risk that this series of interviews with New Europe, Super One and Malta Today may prejudice the court cases against the former Commissioner, and will only serve as a political exercise to portray the former Commissioner as a victim of the tobacco industry even if he never smoked a cigarette.
