In reply to Eddy Privitera. I am not a "GonziPN blogger", or even a blogger, but yes, I do consider the PM to have failed spectacularly in choosing John Dalli.

Have all you GonziPN bloggers forgotten, that Lawrence Gonzi, has publicly stated that he is proud to have appointed John Dalli as commissioner ? Do you then consider Dr. Gonzi to have failed too in choosing John Dalli , just as GonziPN failed in choosing B.W.S.C. ???

Malta Tourism Authority is launching a new promotion campaign in Europe with the following slogan: When in Malta, do as the Dallis do….confessing…praying…bootlegging.

Dalli is portraying the rest of Malta as a sprawling Qormi.

Maybe in his mind, it is.

This is the root of Dalli’s downfall.

When you are an EU Commisioner you just DO NOT meet everybody.

You have to be very, very selective who you associate yourself with.

If, for example, you meet only just once with a well-known unsavoury character,like Sivio, then your position as Commissioner becomes untenable.

Your position becomes irrevocably compromised.

This is what Dalli did not, and could not, understand.

With his Qormi background, he was under the false impression that as long as you are not caught with sixty million euros stuffed inside your underpants you are high and dry.

Exactly right, just like he had no business poking his nose into Maltese politics and being partisan about it.

When he’s in Malta he even finds the time to meet Joseph Muscat and the nice people at Super One.
