Nationalist EP candidate Alex Perici Calascione has filed libel action against Labour leader Joseph Muscat, saying he had broadcast a recording of an extract of a speech he had given, but because the recording was cut short, he was misrepresented.

Dr Perici Calascione said the extract played by Dr Muscat gave the impression that he had said that former Prime Minister Eddie Fenech Adami was either crazy or had taken hunters for a ride. Yet immediately after, he had explained how Dr Fenech Adami had neither been crazy, nor taken anyone for a ride.

Dr Pelici Cascione said he had called on Dr Muscat to play the tape in full, but the Labour leader had not done so.
