					<description><![CDATA[Let&#039;s say he was completely innocent, even of knowing what was going on but not saying anything (which nobody believes he is), he should have resigned voluntarily anyway.

Judges do it, politicians do it. It&#039;s the only way you can defend yourself whilst at the same time not putting the institution you represent in bad repute.

John Dalli was and still is hugely defensive and arrogant. The guy honestly believes he is right simply because there may not be enough proof to pin him down as having been corrupt in this particular case.

What puzzles me is why Labour take in and defend PN rejects like Dalli, Engerer, Pullicino Orlando, Debono and others. Is it to thank them for being unprofessional, arrogant or disloyal all to the disadvantage of the PN ?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dalli has been claiming in the Maltese media that Barroso&#039;s staff had also been having secret meetings with the tobacco lobby. (This in itself is admittance that Dalli did have meetings with them)

How come he didn&#039;t say that when he was face to face with Barroso in court?

If I were innocent, as Dalli claims to be, I&#039;d scream it at the top of my voice considering the opportunity of having the international media following this event.

If there was even a shred of doubt as to Dalli&#039;s guilt then that&#039;s just about gone out of the window now.]]></description>

That &#039;semi-literate glorified mqaret-seller&#039; claims to have studied Management at University of Malta on his Facebook page, I&#039;ll have you know.

					<description><![CDATA[I have been following John Dalli vs President Jose` Maria Barros with great interest.

I do not have to go through every statement made with a magnifying glass to confirm that John Dalli has committed perjury again like he did when he falsely and maliciously accused me in revenge because I reported his involvement in the Daewoo scandal.

The following is one of the many comments made by Joanna Darmanin in her witness as quoted in Times of Malta.

Darmanin: “I saw Dalli and he told me we have a problem; I need to contact my wife. I need to see about my rights. My allowances and whether I have a pension”.

That statement sums him up. He is not called Johnny Cash for nothing. It’s always about the money with him. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY                                  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETxmCCsMoD0&#038;feature=kp

Once again former disgraced EU Commissioner John Dalli brought Malta’s good name into international disrepute. His audacity and hypocrisy has no limits. The situation he brought himself into has nothing to do with unfair dismissal. 

It is to do with political accountability. He should also be held accountable for all the alleged corruption he was involved in during his political career. 

I always said he was corrupt and my allegations against him remain.]]></description>
