					<description><![CDATA[El-Cardinero thinks a shooting is a shooting is a shooting, and that&#039;s that. It&#039;s the way they see it in the Wild West where  El-Cardinero&#039;s name would fit squarely in an novel or film of that genre.

Over here we attach a lot of importance to the nature and circumstances of the shooting. In the Mallia driver’s case we were not disgusted by the shooting itself but by the way it was handled, first by the Ministry (statement) then by the Minister himself and the Prime Minister who tried to play down the incident. 

Expressing feelings of anger and disgust is simply not enough in a civilised, European state.

While it is true that people will choose the facts they want to hear, is it really that difficult for someone who reads and comments on this blog to realise that it is Minister Mallia and his Prime Minister, not Daphne, that is undermining the government by shooting themselves in the foot with their convoluted statements, arguments and cover-ups.]]></description>

No. El-Cardinero such haphazard reasoning won&#039;t get you anywhere and if anything it&#039;s completely off the point and out of context as such cases should never be justified, and yes being a ministerial driver makes it even worse. Why you may say ? Because he has the full responsibility towards his drivers employment.]]></description>
