The General Workers' Union's general secretary Tony Zarb yesterday filed a libel case against the editor of the Nationalist Party's online news portal maltarightnow.com.

Zarb filed the suit against the editor, Karl Stagno-Navarra, over the January 26 editorial and article entitled Kompetittività: Tony Zarb jikkomprometti n-negozjati. Imur fuq Super 1 TV u jheggeg appogg ghall-MLP. Il-unions urtati "lesti nkomplu bla GWU"' (Competitiveness: Tony Zarb compromises negotiations. He appears on Super 1 TV and rallies support for the MLP. The unions are annoyed and are "ready to continue without the GWU").

He claimed the content of the article and editorial were libellous and defamatory and based on false facts.

Dr Aaron Mifsud Bonnici signed the suit.
