Nice one Ciccio.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
