…and I need him as a crucial witness in the cases the Police (acting on the complaint of Julia Farrugia) vs Daphne Caruana Galizia and Julia Farrugia (editor of Saviour Balzan’s newspaper Illum) vs Daphne Caruana Galizia, to say that yes, Ms Farrugia’s father Karmenu k/a Il-Boton or Il-Botom was indeed the prospective new EU Commissioner’s trusted driver-cum-aide for ages during the Golden Years when he was a Labour minister and yes, there were some little problems with the gun that killed Raymond Caruana at the PN club in Gudja being in his possession at some point.

It’s bad enough that the witness I really need, Gianni Psaila k/a Il-Pupa, a fellow thug (reformed and turned state evidence) and former associate of the Illum editor’s father, died in mysterious circumstances shortly after testifying to all this during a preliminary inquiry.

    The EU Commission really needs Commissioners with a Botom-up approach to politics.

    And Carmelo Abela to be appointed government ‘spokesman’. What happened to Kurt Farrugia?

      He gave a very curt impromptu press conference this afternoon announcing the lack of a press conference on behalf of the PM.

      Two resignations forcing the PM to act within a couple of hours, the mother of all ministries just like that, and Muscat cowering somewhere.

      So there.

      Is it me, or is Muscat facing major revolt?

    Can’t wait for the grilling session. They will be asking him about his track records in human rights and free expression.

  4. C C says:

    Thanks… keep reminding people about this as it seems that not enough of them even know what Karmenu Vella was and still is.

  5. PD says:

    There’s another reason why Karmenu Vella is being sent to Brussels and that’s so that the grandparents can be close to or be able to look after Miriam Dalli’s baby girl once she’s elected MEP.

    [Daphne – Yes, I have a post up about this.]
