I respect your opinion. But as Andreotti would say: at some point we all need to minimise the damage. Thanks for your care in replying.

As I said, twisted reasoning: you shouldn’t hope that the wrong person gets through just to “save Malta’s image”. You should agitate to avoid having the wrong persons nominated in the first place.

Case in point right now: Alfred Mifsud and the Central Bank. Previous case in point: John Dalli and the European Commission. How did it help Malta’s image that Dalli wasn’t rejected?

I can’t stand illogical reasoning.

Lady, you may be right. We may also have the “wrong individuals” running the country acting like the Augustuses of the 21st century. BUT another rejection would further tarnish the islands’ image at EU level. And it would take years for the island to again regain its credibility.

That is what is known as twisted reasoning. For the sake of our country, he should be rejected. How did it help Malta – or the European Union – when John Dalli got through the interview for his European Commissioner post? If Maltese governments are going to be irresponsible enough to nominate the wrong individuals, then the most we can hope for is that they are not let through.

He was paired in the Keith Schembri motion, but not in the Konrad Mizzi motion.

Nationalist MEPs – prepare yourselves for another ‘traitors’ insult when Brincat doesn’t make it through.
