Why would Muscat appoint a tainted person like Dalli as his consultant?
What a freakin’ dildo.
Because there are too many close and hidden connections between them in this whole murky business ; even a fool can smell the coffee here – or the snus perhaps.
Dalli is mistaking this for a Maltese Court where perjury is committed on a daily basis and is hardly ever punished.
Take the following sequence. Dalli changes a denial to a non-recollection without batting an eyelid.
‘Forwood asks about Barroso’s statement that the statement of resignation was read out to Dalli.
Dalli’s lawyer Rodriguez: Says Mr Dalli denies this interpretation.
Forwood intervenes to clarify. Are you suggesting that the people who said this imagined it?
Rodriguez consults Dalli.
Rodriguez: My Client does not recall this…’
I fail to understand what Dalli is hoping to achieve.
If he is trying to save face then he can forget it, all he is managed to do is destroy what little decent reputation he may still have carried.
But Dalli has been messing up in his political career for donkey’s years. That is why he did not get enough support from the councillors in the party leadership contest I claim.
Min jaf kemm ghamel aktar balbuljati w tahwid meta kien ministru, u bilfors hemm min jaf bihom.
In recent history the PN leadership has gone to those who did not have the ambition to become leaders. Eddie Fenech Adami, Lawrence Gonzi and Simon Busuttil never chased the post and that is why they deserved it.
Dalli then and Chris Said now crave power and the party councillors will once again nip such ambitions in the bud.
What a stupid statement. And how very Maltese. “Ma-a jisthoqqlix Muuuulej…”.
Of course the leaders had that ambition. Ambition is good. A leader needs to be ambitious. He or she must yearn for the leadership. What is this? A Merilweez ‘kemm ma nixtieqx inkun f’dan il-palazz’ kontest?
Baxxter, I’m speaking of an ambition that goes as far as undermining your political colleagues when you should be pulling the same rope. If you care to miss that very important factor that’s your prerogative.
Ambition to do well personally is a bad thing if it means ensuring that your party fails to get ahead so that you yourself can meet your private objectives.
I cannot understand why people who should know better have to be spoon-fed. No wonder the PN is in such a predicament.
Then go to your local library, and familiarise yourself with the English meaning of “ambition”. You’re using it as a translation of the Maltese “ambizzjoni”.
I fail to see what you’re driving at. It basically means the same thing in Maltese.

Ambizzjoni: Ambition, aspiration, desire, will, wish and also treachery and pretension.
Ambition: an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction, as power, honor, fame, or wealth, etc.
It’s the method of achieving that ambition that is wrong when it goes as far as undermining your political colleagues.
bob-a-job has got it all wrong, mistaking Dalli with Chris Said. The PN need a few Chris Saids with the team.
[Daphne – Perhaps you missed the bit where Chris Said rang John Dalli ‘biex jifrahlu’ when Police Commissioner Peter Paul Zammit announced that Dalli was not going to be prosecuted. Did Said do this with the approval of the Nationalist Party? Clearly not. He did it to undermine his own party leader. He also hoped it would be secret. But Dalli being Dalli boasted about it when it paid him to do so.]
Edgar, you just don’t know how wrong you are.
Chris Said acted the same way with Franco Debono two years ago again to undermine his then party leader. Franco happens to be a loudmouth as well and boasted that he would back Said for leadership.

These underhand tactics were not restricted to Dalli and Debono either. There are others.
Stop calling it a team. It’s a party. This isn’t bloody Kerygma.
You may not like it Baxxter but that is exactly what they are referring to themselves as, a Team.

‘The PN leader claimed that the day after the police commissioner had announced there was no criminal case against Dalli, the party’s secretary-general Chris Said called Dalli.’
‘Chris Said called me on a personal basis to express his satisfaction over the Police Commissioner’s statement in which he said their was no criminal case against me’ Dalli said.

Time for Johnny Cash to return to Saint Quentin.
Dalli worked with JPO, Mugliett, Franco Debono and Musumeci, and he even tried Robert Arrigo for a while there – all to bring down the man who beat him to the PN leadership.
Imagine if he had been elected party leader. What a mess.
With Dalli it’s always about him and he is a first-class money grabber. He was in bed with Joseph Muscat for a long time before he took the job as EU Commissioner.
He worked to dismantle the PN for his only personal vengeance and to scratch Muscat’s back so that Muscat would scratch his. And that is what is happening now.
He is a liar and schemer who has now taken his lies and schemes to the European stage and embarrassed his country.
Now this is very true. The problem is that Dalli has not finished his vengeance saga against the party yet. Ta’ ahdar li hu he wants more than a pound of flesh.
Those who know his balbuljati when he was minister should step in to stop this massacre.
What goes around comes around.
