Police Commissioner John Rizzo did not get political interference from the PN government and was free to proceed with prosecution against Engerer whereas Police Commissioner Peter Paul Zammit did get political interference from PL government and did not proceed with the prosecution of John Dalli.

It’s rather telling that two of the most twisted and amoral people in Maltese politics had to be the ones to militate to bring in two controversial laws – JPO and his divorce bill and Engerer with his gay marriage/adoption law. This will go down in history as poetic justice.

If and only if he is a responsible citizen (he never really was a politician) he should immediately resign from politics, given the court sentence which proved did he committed a criminal act against his former boyfriend.

He is definitely unfit for politics.

Imagine were he to resign from MEP if elected, how much more publicity there would be, which would also bring not only his but also Malta’s name in disrepute, mhux bizzejjed kellna lil Claudette Abela Baldacchino u l-frodi taghha.

Do we assume that the LGBT community condone criminals?

The comments by watchful eye and the one under that Malta Independent article are quite correct: did Cyrus Engerer withdraw from the MEP elections, or not?

And in what form did he do so, legally speaking?

We already had one candidate saying he was withdrawing – HuManwel Cuschieri – and then making a U-turn and a come back.

Is this going to be the second one – perhaps after Cyrus Engerer turns the Labour voters’ sympathy in his favour?
