Thank You!

A short note of thanks to the 544 voters who gave me their first-preference in the Gudja Local Council elections. This was an increase of 101 voters from four years ago, which positively reflected a 4% increase to the Nationalist Party in our locality, contrary to the national trend of the other elections held on the same day, and which has finally translated to a second seat for the Nationalist Party in the Gudja Local Council.

I welcome Stefan Caruana, the new PN councillor elected, and newly elected PL councillor Demelsa Grech. Well done also to John Mary Calleja and Romeo Baldacchino, both re-elected as Mayor and Vice-Mayor respectively. And finally, thanks goes to George Fenech, Clayton Abdilla and Raymond Caruana, who though not elected were ready to offer their services to contribute towards our locality.



I also wish to thank the voters in the Fourth and Fifth districts who trusted me with their vote on my first try at contesting the general elections.

I vouch to keep on working in the interests of all Gudja citizens in my third term as a local councillor, and to contribute with all my knowledge and skills in the renewal and regeneration process going on in the Nationalist Party. Together we can restore the Nationalist Party to its former glory and strengthen it for the challenges to come.

Elezzjoni għal Viċi Kap

Nemmen li l-Partit Nazzjonalista jeħtieġ Viċi-Kap li jkompli jsaħħaħ il-proċess ta' tiġdid li għaddej minnu l-Partit stess, biex ikun jista' jkompli jwettaq il-bidliet pożittivi f'pajjiżna. Għalhekk kien ta' pjaċir għalija li nhar is-Sibt li għadda kont wieħed minn tal-ewwel li iffirmajt in-nomina ta' Dr. Simon Busuttil għal din il-kariga tant importanti. Nawguralu minn qalbi.

Who's the real monster?

I usually hate comparisons, but some very different reactions from the 'great unthinking' rabble do merit some analysis. In May this year, the notorious dog Star was found buried alive . A prima facie , this looked liked the most horrific case of animal cruelty, and is still considered so by some. The perpetrator was described by the sensitive and caring animal-lovers as a villain, a heartless monster, deserving of death, stoning, or even to be 'buried alive in the same manner'. But what did Mr. Vella actually do, according to the testimony heard in Court? Star was sick. It was shedding fur, and quite old already, and its owner did not afford the treatment. In trying to save some money from paying for the dog to be put to sleep and killed properly by vets, she gave it to Mr. Vella to have it killed himself. Nothing much to make people angry till now. Mercy-killing of very sick and suffering animals is widely done and usually a...

Why I am dropping out of the Anti-ACTA protest

Like many avid internet users, I have followed with interest the debate about ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). After reading numerous articles, watched sensational videos, and discussed ad nauseam with friends, I have realized that what I have come across is a campaign hi-jacked by lies, myths and misconceptions as to rival Malta's misinformed divorce referendum campaign. I have to say that the videos on Youtube   got me worried. I quickly signed the petition, joined the Anti-ACTA groups, and prepared myself for a full-blown fight against the big-governments who want to intrude on our privacy and freedom of expression. Like our MEP Edward Scicluna invited us to do in the University debate last Wednesday, I did not try to understand the details of ACTA but rather saw who the players behind it were. But as usual, my logical instincts took over, and his call to not try to understand ACTA actually pushed me to read the text. And here's what I now know: ACTA is ...
