The proposed saving clause concerning pending criminal libel cases, whilst perhaps surprisingly to some not unconstitutional, violates established doctrine on the temporal effects of criminal law. As such, and always if so enacted, it ought to be completely disregarded by the Courts.

The last thing I am is fake, Privitera – and it appears that is the root cause of the problem.

The law may be repealed but a set of clauses from the previous law may still be ‘saved’.

I have never been known to run away from anything in my life, Privitera. That’s why I am able to do this job and withstand you all.

You are a classical example of the finer distinction that the Latins used to make where we today use just one word: ignorance. For the Romans, if one never came across the truth and he says otherwise this was referred to ‘non-scientia’ – not having the knowledge. On the other hand, if one is aware of the truth but decides not to acknowledge, then it is ignorance as he is ignoring the truth.

In reply to Eddy Privitera. So what are you going to say about Joseph Muscat who is constantly running away from any open discussion with Simon Busuttil (ask Peppi) Or running away through to back door to avoid having to answer to questions from journalists?

I am not a politician and am not required to appear before the public to explain myself. Journalists write/broadcast. Politicians and ‘experts’ debate.

It’s too late for you to understand the finer points of democracy.

In reply to Eddy Privitera. I have no reason to participate in any debate anywhere, Privitera. I am not a politician.
