Saviour Balzan and the extra marital affairs of those who hold public office

I seem to recall that it was Malta Today which first covered – and in extensive, technicolour detail of the ‘too much information, thanks’ variety, Sunday after Sunday – the extra marital life of somebody in high public office.
That would have been in 2001. The newspaper’s extensively detailed coverage of his extra-marital encounters with a woman who seemed to me suspiciously keen to cooperate with Malta Today led, as I recall, to Police Commissioner George Grech’s resignation.
Hypocritical fraud

There’s always a Chinese connection somewhere.
Twat.
Useless carbon footprint.
Nuff said.
Saviour and Konrad should engage the services of Fr. Montebello to act as a go-between to try to bribe Daphne with a few million euros to get the heat off them ; not that it would work, mind you.
Yes it’s true…she could have been a magistrate, if I remember well.
[Daphne – No, Isabelle Azzopardi is not a magistrate. And she is Polish, not Maltese. She was a friend of Magistrate Miriam Hayman.]
A cartoon version of a femme fatale who acted as if she was God’s gift to men.
MaltaToday revealed Magistrate Miriam Hayman’s close friendship with Yumei Zhang, a Chinese national while Hayman was investigating George Grech in 2001.
“That doesn’t count. That was 13 years ago. I was still figuring out what being an editor is about,” was Mr Balzan’s reaction in an extraordinary edition of the Salvu Today News Dispensation Programme.
Isabelle Azzopardi and her husband were regular guests of Norman Hamilton on Bla Agenda. She used to wear weird clothes and accessories/shoes.
Balzan can start another investigation but this time it will not have the usual lurid details he loves so much. He, being a friend of Konrat, should have a tete-a-tete with the energy minister on how much the gas carrier ship is costing the Malta treasury whilst it waits to be used. There must be a penalty clause somewhere.
Yes, that is one aspect that seems to have been forgotten. Konrad Mizzi has already committed the Malta government, and so huge chunks of taxpayers’ money, to the purchase, expensive modification, and subsequent maintenance, of the gas-handling ship, when he did not yet even know when he would have a gas-fired power station to go with it.
How true. I remember her name, Isobel. Police Commissioner George Grech had to resign. How times change for Balzan! His journalism stinks.
Salvu should realise that in the era of the World Wide Web one can run, but cannot hide:

Is there no end to Salvu Basla and his lies?
Your forgot the ‘n’ at the end (‘N’ for nejk).
Ma nahsibx li lil Salvu spiccalu dak – forsi dalwaqt, jista’ jkun.
I noticed further down the page in this link a call from Malta Today to raise the minimum wage! Is this call still on or does it need to be renewed now that the ‘independent’ (same as L-Orizzont) Balzan is running the show?
Strangely (or not so much) the only thing you can find on Malta Today’s archives on the web relating to the George Grech Isabelle Azzopardi story is this.

I’m sure Saviour Balzan of Malta Today would have argued differently if a Nationalist minister was involved. Someone at Castille must have pulled his strings to belittle the scandals in Muscat’s government.
Verament insejtu dan il-kaz. Niftakar li Bill Clintonata imma mhux daqsekk fid-dettall.
Balzan’s is an insidious call to limit the web.
I am a friend of Mrs Grech and I remember how hurt she was when Balzan splashed the story all over with the usual sarcastic smiles when he baited his selected victim.
Mrs Grech was the first to know about the affair and had already forgiven her husband, but she endured all the barrage she received afterwards when Balzan kept hounding Commissioner Grech till he resigned.
This is our famous journalist Balzan where journalism only occurs when the PN is in government.
Nice pic of San Frangisku Saverjo the liberal.
