Some people still don’t believe it, so I shall be even more specific
President Coleiro: her daughter was fathered by one of the Chircops of Andrew’s Bar/La Plage in St George’s Bay
Some people were shocked to discover that Santa Maria Goretti, our new president, had her daughter with a man who had a wife and three very young children at the time.
She did so deliberately, because as she told an interviewer (without entering into the shameful specifics) she was 36 and her biological clock was ticking.
Her need to have a baby before it was too late came before the happiness of the three children (to say nothing of their mother) whose lives she shattered in a manifestation of ruthless egocentricity even greater than yesterday’s six-hour self-aggrandisement.
“I want to have a baby and I don’t give a stuff about anyone who might get savagely hurt in the process.”
I reported the man’s name yesterday – Martin Chircop of St Julian’s – but some of you are still totally incredulous. I don’t know why – perhaps you imagine that I could legally pluck the real name of a real man out of thin air and say that he fathered the president’s daughter when he did not?
Of course I can’t (and wouldn’t, it goes without saying) do that. So if you still don’t believe it, here are some more specifics: these are the Chircops who own those two bar/restaurants down at St George’s Bay in St Julian’s. Martin Chircop’s father (grandfather to the president’s daughter) owns the one called La Plage, while his uncle (the two brothers are estranged; there was a very serious incident between them) owns Andrew’s Bar.

“Santa Maria Goretti” indeed. You had me in fits there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Goretti
Everyone who works at the airport knows Martin. He works for Customs and the fact that he was once married to Marie Louise is common knowledge.
[Daphne – Martin Chircop was never married to Marie Louise Coleiro, so it cannot possibly be ‘common knowledge’. His wife was somebody else, by whom he had three children. Marie Louise Coleiro was his mistress and mother of his daughter, born outside marriage.]
Then the “common knowledge” is a lie. I’ve heard him call her his ex-wife and other people refer to her as such when talking about him.
[Daphne – Of course he calls her his ex wife. He can hardly call her his ex-pogguta, and if he says ‘ex partner’ people will think they were in business together. I don’t think you could call it a lie so much as the polite form in a situation where there isn’t an acceptable way to describe a mistress. In any case, you should have used your common sense. How could she have been his ex wife in a country without divorce legislation?]
It was specifically a lie because he had said the marriage was annulled.
[Daphne – A very great lie, in that case, because it means he also hid the existence of his actual wife and three children, unless he expected you to believe that he married twice and that both marriages were declared null.]
He is quite proud he was in a relationship with her and brags about it actually. Not about the details, but he legitimises his relationship with a lie. He is the one who brings it up in conversation. He likes to make out he’s quite a ladies’ man and has a reputation of schtupping anything that walks.
Yes, you’re right. He never mentions them actually and in all the years I’ve known him, I know of his first family now/here from this blog.
‘Il-mara’ in Maltese can refer to a wife or a colloquialism for a female partner.
This is so interesting. Daphne, can I have your email address please?
[Daphne – dcgalizia@gmail.com]
I guess she never heard of sperm banks and turkey basters.
[Daphne – She’s a Socialist. She won’t pay for something if she can get it for free at a great cost to somebody else.]
Excuse my ignorance, but what are turkey basters?
[Daphne – It’s a big syringe made of metal, used for piping food…and basting turkeys (that’s when you pour liquid over the bird during roasting). Because early artificial insemination was done using a very similar sort of syringe, turkey-basters entered the lexicon as a byword for artificial insemination in the absence of a father beyond the sperm.]
She might have been a hot bird once upon a time. But she looked quite frumpy on Xarabank yesterday airing her dirty linen in public.
[Daphne – She was never a hot bird. She had blue eyes and an artificially highlighted barnet in a land of brown eyes and brown hair. She was always short and stocky and always plain, but operates in a culture where blue eyes and blonde hair are prestigious. As for the rest, she had high levels of testosterone and aggression, sought and found power and maintained her hold on it, and deployed that power to obtain sex. Then when she was 36 it was now or never to have a baby, so she had one with the nearest available man. Then when she was 50 it was her marriage clock that began ticking overtime, so she made a play for a quiet and unassuming chap she met in the GWU cafe (“he should be easy meat, even though I would never have looked at him 20 years ago, but 50-year-old beggars can’t be choosers”) and got him to marry her. And because he’s religious, she says the rosary in bed with him (she said as much in an interview, incredibly).]

Using a turkey baster for insemination is what lesbians and gay men allude to have used when they agree to have children.
That’s Mintoffjanizmu not socialism.
Bingo !
That explains part of her agenda behind the inclusiveness, tolerance and diversity . I noticed also that now she is all in favour of immigrants. The PL bashed them, now they want to cash in on them.
And the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Maltese diocese goes and officiates and smiles at everybody.
What a clown he is.
He should have refused point blank to have anything to do with someone who has broken most of the rules in the book.
No wonder the Catholic and Apostolic Church of Rome is in the mess it is in .
Compromise and be damned and to hell with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
The motto for Santa Romana Ecclesia is now ‘ Tutto fa Brodo’.
They may just as we’ll close all churches because everyone broke rules sometime.
Why don t you start a petition to stone her to death.
I am appalled by all these comments, deployed power to obtain sex, not a hot bird, lived in sin.
Can you stoop any lower.
[Daphne – Anna, are you the only one they’ve left without an iced bun? Tsk tsk. Of course Marie Louise Coleiro deployed power to obtain sex. She was secretary-general of the Malta Labour Party when she made a play for Martin Chircop. He was very impressed. Still is – boasts about his relationship with her all the time, and even claims falsely to have been married to her.
No, she was not a hot bird. She was one of those really rough women who moved like a docker and had a loud, rasping voice. But she traded on the ‘village Venus’ factor: everyone else in the Labour Party except Helena Dalli (who was beautiful in her day) was much less attractive than she was. ‘Living in sin’? Who says that anymore?]
God forgives all repented sinners , the Church follows Christ’s teachings. She’s not “living in sin”, I suppose.
The Archbishop was officiating at a STATE and not a PERSONAL occasion. At a state function – coronation, wedding, installation of President, funeral, etc, representatives of various religions are invited as guests or even as participants.
In a (nominally) Catholic country the Bishop is among the highest authorities and so a major participant.
People tend to forget to separate the person from the post s/he occupies (which is where correct protocol comes from).
In that repect, Colerio Preca herself is doing very well in outdoing what her predecessor started and blurring the lines between the state and the personal.
Apart from insulting the president, now we are also insulting the Archbishop, not for abusing a child but for performing a Catholic ceremony, as well as the Catholic Church. A new low.
Sewwa u xieraq tassew,
President / Missier qaddis,
Alla ta’ dejjem li tista’ kollox,
tajjeb u ta’ ġid għas-salvazzjoni tagħna,
li dejjem u kullimkien inroddulek ħajr.
‘Tutto fa brodo’
That’s where the turkey basters come in handy.
Leave the Archbishop alone, poor thing. He doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going.
I was wondering on how much Valium he is, to be honest.
Didn’t he take a long break recently because of ‘exhaustion’?
X’ghandu x’jaqsam il-povru u mahbub Isqof taghna ma dan il-kaz? Jekk ghandek xi haga kontra l-Isqfijiet jew il-knisja hawn mhux il post fejn tghaddi certi kummenti Anthony,
The poor church has to get the blame in the end. What utter ignorance, Anthony…one can tell how we are brainwashed.
Why did she have scruples about the divorce law then? I don’t think she believes firmly in the stability of the family.
She was far from the only shameless hypocrite that the divorce debate unearthed.
Because she believed it was ruinous individuals like her who were entitled to break up families and not the law.
She had scruples about divorce because she is now married herself.
Children or no children, she is now well past it and no longer distinguishes between parenting and vote catching.
in order to get her ice bun from Jo Jo
Just like Anglu did, birds of a feather flock together.
Thanks! It’s good, important and necessary to have these insights about people who decide to hold public office. If one decides to hold state office then the public has the right to know. Thanks again.
This story was common knowledge?
She’s been set up I imagine.
Surely she is now going to resign.
Resign? These people are shameless.
What a huge mess. Coleiro Preca abstained from the vote on divorce, but has no objection to same-sex marriage legislation. We saw her receiving Holy Communion together with her husband, Edgar, while before (at her ticking 36th birthday) she had a daughter (who deserves everyone’s fullest respect) from a married man (Martin) whose family was obviously hit hard by his folly.
On the one hand Coleiro Preca wants to bring unity in this country when apparently she didn’t really value family unity to control her ticking biology, while on the other hand she expects the entire population of Malta to respect her dreams and fanciful wishes.
What next? Yes, of course, today she continued her missed post-ticking honeymoon with her post-presidential consort in Gozo. She’s forever repeating ‘ad nauseam’ that she’s doing all this for our country and for the deserving poor and vulnerable.
But it’s become increasingly obvious that she’s doing it all for herself.
Was her daughter featuring in yesterday’s ceremony(ies)? I did not bother watching it.
[Daphne – She was at the mass.]
Don’t you just love how silent MaltaToday are on all this? “The story behind the story”…? Only if its anti-Gonzi. Marilwees was chosen by Muscat, therefore she is perfect.
Imbaghad jghidu li s-Slimizi kieshin. Imma daqs kemm rajna ksuhat waqt din is-suppost okkazjoni ghad irridu naraw ghall 10 snin li gejjin.
Once again the PL in government has managed to debase and demean the highest office in the land.
Shame.
It just occurred to me that if Joseph Muscat decides to go all liberal on our ass and apply the Press Act, there won’t be enough handcuffs or prison cells to fit us all.
God bless Malta, home of the knave and land of the unfree.
Just wonderful. A serial adulterer, with a bastard child, has been proclaimed the President of Malta. Even Alice would be astounded.
Not that this is any consolation: the German president is married to someone else while he lives with his shack-up honey officially at the Bellevue Palace in Berlin. Furthermore, he used to be a Protestant priest.
[Daphne – And look at the French president, too…]
Shame on you, Harry Purdie and all the others commenting on this thread. Have you not heard of the word “repentance”?
Why do we have to keep slagging someone for their past mistakes?
There comes a time when one is given the opportunity to see the light, atone for past sins and embark on a new path. It will all come out on Xarabank, you’ll see.
What I really find annoying is that once again we’ve gone for a really short person. That’s two short presidents and two short prime ministers now. Aren’t there any people above 1.75 meters who are fit for these positions out there?
[Daphne – Two and two? You must be very young. All our presidents have been short since Anthony Mamo, who was tall for his generation, though Anton Buttigieg and Agatha Barbara were not as short as the rest, though short nevertheless. And all our prime ministers as far back as I can remember have been short too: Borg Oliver and Mintoff were actually diminutive.]
One does not have an affair with a married man “by mistake”.
Lennox-Boyd, Secretary of Colonies once told Mintoff: “You are a pocket dictator” and Mintoff impromtu told him: “You are a six-foot bastard”.
Sister Ray, this broad will never repent, doesn’t think she did anything wrong in that anything goes period, way back when.
I’m six feet two with blue eyes, can I apply for the presidency?
Are you really a nun? Must be fun being a male nun.
i admire your guts, Daphne, keep up with the good work.
Well if the Head of State should be representative of the people, our gal ticks most of the boxes: hypocrite, overweight, adulterer, holier-than-thou, conveniently selective memory, badly clad, dumpy, short, peroxide blonde, enough make-up to sink an aircraft carrier…… The list goes on.
A good thing that repenters and atoners no longer wear sackcloth and ashes.
Dear Daphne, all this makes very interesting reading, but I feel I must invoke you to put an end to all this, it is already getting out of hand and it is doing nobody any good.
She might have been wrong, but who are we to judge.
What is for sure is that all this might be giving lot of pain to persons who are surely not to blame to what is now past history.
I am here referring to her daughter, who surely does not need having everyone pass such remarks on her father.and of course her husband who, even though I have never met, seems to be a very decent person.
[Daphne – Mr Loporto, you should learn the value of consistency. Your remarks about Erin Tanti and how he should be locked up for good, how you would organise a lynch mob for him & c & c no doubt caused a great deal of pain to his parents, who are hardly to blame for what he did. Avoiding pain to others should never be the reason for a journalist to write or not write something (except in very exceptional circumstances), just as causing pain shouldn’t be the reason either.
You also ignore the fact that it is Marie Louise Coleiro who caused pain to others – to that man’s wife and his three children (with his cooperation, of course) – and that no amount of repentance can undo the permanent damage with consequences that will spill over into generations to come. But that’s another thing Maltese society doesn’t understand: consequences, the fact that everything is a consequence of something, of a chain of consequences.
Of course the public should be informed about the country’s head of state. Or perhaps you favour a backward situation in which the prime minister goes to official parties with his mistress, regularly spends the night at her house, his wife has a boyfriend who is priest, has a baby by him in 1970, and the situation is not widely known, with the result that there is no pressure on him to step down?
If the facts had become known at the appropriate time, if they had been published, Borg Olivier would have had to resign and the Nationalist Party would have had a new leader in time to face the 1971 general election. And we would not have had Mintoff then. Mintoff won only by the slimmest majority against a worn-out PN leader. With a new PN leader he would not have won at all. That is what I mean about consequences. The consequences of something perceived to be relatively minor or even good – not writing about the prime minister’s situation – can be terrible, and they were. This is the history that nobody writes, because people don’t want ‘to cause pain’. The result of that concealment is often disaster, in politics and in journalism just as in private life.]
How can you keep blaming marie louise, when the husband with 3 kids had a role in all this? It takes two to tango, right?
[Daphne – He is not the president. Nor was he secretary-general of the Labour Party at the time. And yes, it takes two to tango, but the single person pursuing the married one obviously carries most of the blame, especially when she then gets pregnant deliberately.]
Here we have a classic chain-jerker. No rational thought, just verbage.
Photos of George Borg Olivier in London flanked by Barbara Dyer, live bulls on trucks running wild around Malta and Valletta, Labour calling George “Barri”, Labour politicians calling him names…
This is the nation that understands, condones and sympathises but reserves the divine right to thrust the dagger to the hilt in the assassination of character such as was Borg Olivier.
The present incumbent owes the nation an apology for her political misdeeds and the party`s misdeeds when she was its secretary.
We are owed an apology as much as Labour was owed one by the Catholic Church.
It is high time politicians be held accountable for their misdeeds and not have their sins washed away by the ink that flows from the pen that signs their recommendations and appointments.
This is a Labour electoral promise which is well very much overdue.
I knew something was fishy when One TV and TVM started dishing out sickening clips of people hailing St Marie Louise as some sort of Mother Theresa (she’s a politician damn it, of course there are favours involved in vote-keeping).
But this surprised even me, I have to admit. What I don’t condone however, are certain comments about the daughter – she’s about my age (I think I saw her at uni) and totally blameless, I can only imagine how she feels having mummy and all her skeletons aired like dirty laundry.
In view of all this, she should resign and hide, repentance indeed. She is a foul example and she should never be seen again.
Le, ta, ghax tqum fl-4.30 kull filghodu tghid ir-ruzarju mal-buz-buz-neputi ta’ San Gorg Preca.
Could it be that at that time the man involved had been separated from his wife?
[Daphne – No, he was not separated from his wife. Does everything have to be repeated several times over? He was not separated from his wife. That is the point. If he were, nobody would give a damn that she went after him, because he’d have been available and free.]
She was all out against divorce and married her companion because she didn’t want to live in a sinful life. (I heard her my self saying this). Ahjar alla jtini s-sabar u l-pacenzja!
Miniex socjalista, pero inti min int biex tiggudika? she is serving her role of a president, let it be. hekk tista iggibl ghajnuniet socjali l quddiem, let it be. haliha tghix bil kwiet. well and good if she had a daughter, aw tant li jamluhom dawn il praspar. nispera li xi darba jikxfulek xi wahda forsi issib xi kappell jigik !
[Daphne – I am not the president. And I have been married to the father of my children for three decades. So don’t get your hopes up.]
Socjalista forsi m’intix, imma zgur lejburista.
I was against President Coleiro Preca when she was against divorce because with her past, she should have said nothing.
People have a genuine love for her though, as she helped and helps anyone who needs her help, of what ever political inclination.
She really loves the downtrodden and the weak. She is also a hard worker.
NOW she is our President and we must respect her because of that even if not for her past or even if some of us do not see how much good she did and does for the weak.
Let us remember how many other hypocritical people from both sides there were during the divorce referendum. Malta is small. A minister not voting for divorce as it is against his conscience when corruption was OK.
We also had an other saint, saint Eddie who from all over Malta and Gozo he chose Delimara just in front of Mintoff to build the power station that ruined the place with even more power stations that followed.
Now the hypocrites are sorry for the ‘gas ship’ in Marsaxlokk. No wonder I have such cynicism about politicians and I nearly hate them.
“She really loves the downtrodden and the weak”, with the exception of those she trod on in her quest for lurve.
By the way I still admire you, Daphne, as I do believe we should know all about our politicians and public officials like in other countries. Still like the Borg Olivier story people knew about Coleiro Preca. I do not know how your readers are shocked.
The fact that the child was born whilst the mother was in a relationship with a married man, doesn’t make him the father. She could have had another affair on the sly.
[Daphne – This is no longer the dark ages. There are DNA tests. And that is quite apart from the fact that he never denied paternity and was under court order to pay maintenance. He was notified over failure to pay by means of a notice published in the Government Gazette, which only happens when you avoid service. This was around five years ago: the names on the published notice were, quite clearly, Martin Chircop and Marie Louise Coleiro Preca (she was married already at the time).]
I frankly don’t think that this is relevant to her presidency. Whoever she slept with is no one’s business and you also keep forgetting that it was Mr. Chircop’s decision too. It takes two to tango
please get your facts right andrew`s Bar has nothing to do with the person you are talking about do your research properly
[Daphne – The bar doesn’t have anything to do with him, but you who run it most certainly do, which is why you have the same surname.]
Surnames mean nothing
