Alex Sceberras Trigona has crawled all the way out of the woodwork
I switched to One TV this morning, and there was that Alex Sceberras Trigona (imma m’hemmx li jisparixxi darba ghal dejjem, miskin) comfortably ensconced on Ramona Attard’s sofa, telling his audience how wrong and stupid Lawrence Gonzi is for criticising leaders like Hollande and Zapatero “just because they are socialist.”
He doesn’t criticise them “because they are socialist”, Alex. He criticises them – like everybody else does – because of the catastrophic messes they made/are making.
Sceberras Trigona, who has been out of international politics since 1987, actually has advice for Lawrence Gonzi on how to behave in international forums. “Gonzi is wrong to criticise other leaders,” he said, “because they will get offended and he has to meet them and their representatives at meetings in Europe. And then they will react badly.”
He seems to think he’s still living in the days of Dom and Ceacescu.
And they have the bloody nerve to call this change. And bitter individuals or gullible idiots swallow it whole. How can you call anything that involves Alex Sceberras Trigona, Karmenu Vella, Leo Brincat and the rest of the Mintoffian fossils – including Mintoff’s own horrid daughter – change?
After 16 years of exile from the Labour Party under Alred Sant, Alex Sceberras Trigona hits the jackpot when Joseph Muscat is elected leader.
Alex Sceberras Trigona is so, so grateful to be back in the Labour fold, because Joseph Muscat thinks that anything Mintoffian is good.
Toni Abela left the Labour Party in the early 1990s because of the excesses under Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici of individuals like Sceberras Trigona. But now it’s a love fest.
Sceberras Trigona absolutely adored and admired Muammar Gaddafi. Here he is, welcoming him a Luqa airport with Lino Spiteri (centre) and Karmenu Vella (far right)
Here’s AST, at the signing yet another agreement that made Malta a satellite of Gaddafi’s Libya, with that scum Mintoff.
Vote for change, eh? This is the 1970s, and there’s Karmenu Vella, who will be finance minister in a few days, signing an agreement with Libya, alongside Alex Sceberras Trigona, present-day international secretary of the progressive Labour movement.

‘because they will get offended’
I guess that they are already more than offended at having coughed up €1.12 billion, especially as they had planned on handing out a relatively measly €680 million.
It’s Labour itself which needs to change.
Ah, yes. Those infamous agreements with Libya that first set Malta up as Gaddafi’s vassal state and kept us in his pocket for years.
Maybe it’s time Joseph Muscat came clean about that agreement he signed with Gaddafi just days after becoming Leader of the Opposition. He had the nerve to BOAST about it when he flew back on a private jet, courtesy of Gaddafi himself.
I am really scared.
In 1996 the world around us was doing well, but a Labour government really messed up and ruined our economy. The number of unemployed increased dramatically and the country was brought on its knees.
I cringe at the thought what will happen if they are elected now when the whole world is in such a terrible situation.
This is the person because of whom Malta spent a number of years on the black book of many western powers.
Thanks to this we were in the ITAR list restricting trade and still suffer the consequences.
I have two stories told to me by foreigners.
1. An RAF Nimrod pilot, who had served in Malta, told me that on their navigation maps, during Mintoff’s regime, indicated that Malta’s airspace after 1979 was marked with red denoting enemy territory.
2. During a conference which I attended in Israel, one of the Israeli participants could describe the exact and in detail the toponomics and geographical details of the area in Delimara.
When I asked him when he came to Malta, he said that he has never put his foot on the Island. When asked more about his knowledge, he said that he was in a parachute regiment and they used to do reconnaissance over Malta for any eventual future mission as Malta had become a Libyan vassal state.
Labour’s legacy is so horrid and repulsive. These pictures revive all the anguish and misery of those terrible times.
Malta kienet dittatura socjalista.
Typical Labour ‘laghqi’ mentality, which also came to the fore during the recent crisis in Libya when Labour sat on the fence just in case… ma jmurx jiehu ghalih Ghaddafi.
Ghadni niftakar lil Dr. Joe Brincat jistqarr apologitakament li la darba Dr. AST, bhala ministru ta’ l-Affarijiet Barranin lahaq xandarha ma l-erbat irjehat tad-dinja li ragel mill-Mosta mar biex joqtol lill-Prim Ministru Dom Mintoff, il-kabinett tal-MLP ma kellux triq ohra li jsib scapegoat u wehel missierek.
Eventwalment il-ministru Moran sab tlitt tobba biex johorgu tlitt certifikati medici foloz (ara taht Karm Grima fuq ILLUM, Malta today jew Times of Malta) u intbaghat Monte Carmelis ghall-ghomru. Dan ghalija hu kriminal u suppost qieghed il-habs.
AST is a fossil, but he has more hair than Joseph.
You’re being unfair. I’m sure he’ll receive a warm welcome from his staff when he is installed as head of secretariat at OPM.
Ha nghidlek who will become offended AST, all the European leaders when they face your fearless leader, ghax veru mhux ta’ quddiem in-nies.
Who’s that man standing besides Ghaddhafi?
Ray Azzopardi.
Far right is Ċensu Moran not Charles Vella
Errata corrige; Gaddafi welcomed at Luqa Barracks, as per standard procedure when hosting friendly dictators.
The line clearly visible on Joseph’s scalp during The Times debate is nowhere to be seen in the photo taken with AST.
Brilliant observation, Daphne.
Imbasta riedu l-indipendenza u l-helsien. Biex inkomplu nilaghqu.
Alex “keep a low profile because of the election” Sceberras Trigona. Maltese nobility at its best. One for KZT ?
