In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. His foot-dragging on the resolution of his financial messes is an indication of just how interested he really is in the well being of his family in the event of his demise. And he thinks he is suitable as future PN leader and prime minister.

Yes, another narcissist. There are so many men like this cropping up in Maltese public life that I’m beginning to wonder even more than I did already about the parenting skills of Maltese adults in generations gone by.

Narcissists are created by inadequate parenting in early life – not necessarily by neglect, but often by its precise opposite: the creation of a ‘golden child’.

One of the reasons why individuals like Frank Portelli do not declare bankruptcy and have done with it is precisely because bankruptcy bars you from several things, including public office and the directorships of companies.

However, bankruptcy can be forced by one creditor – even a minor creditor – or by several creditors acting in concert. In this case, the creditors have opted not to force Frank Portelli’s bankruptcy. But as with the Price Club bankruptcy, it is only a matter of time: https://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20100515/local/price-club-directors-liable-for-debts-appeals-court.307321

It is entirely in keeping with Frank Portelli’s egocentric nature that he has not yet, at 73, forced the issue himself while he is still able to. He hasn’t many able years left in which to do it. And if he doesn’t sort it out now, he is going to leave a godawful mess to be dealt with by his wife, daughters and son, the latter of whom will still be in his 20s or early 30s.

Frank Portelli – bankrupt, racist and homophobic
Adrian Delia – a choke-chain round his neck held by HSBC Bank
Alex Perici Calascione – charisma of a damp rag
What’s the other name? Never mind , charisma of a damp rag too

Can the last one out turn off the lights, please?

At the next press appearance or mini political rally organised by Delia during office hours perhaps a kind soul could call any one of the offices of the big four audit firms or second-tier firms (who do not close during summer) and pass the phone on to Delia.
