This is what Dr Joseph Muscat said about Mr Cuschieri:

"Nizgurak li minn issa, jien se nassigura li l-kompetenzi u l-kapacitajiet li inti ksibt tul il-karriera politika tieghek, ikunu uzati u utilizzati fl-interessi tal-pajjiz"

I do not want to cheat. I am not a PL supporter. No result will bother in the MEP election. If it has to be 3PL and 2PN, 4 PL and 2 PN or 3PL, 2PN and 1 AD , so it be. But Simon Amato is right. At least we must elect MEP's that have certain capabilities, intelligence and that can make a difference. Very obvious that certain candidates should have never been allowed to contest, not knowing that there is a Big difference from being an MEP and Segretarju tal-Kumitat tal-Bocci.

@ Simon Amato. You have to decide if you "wish to know" or if you made up your mind about the capabilities of Mr Cuschieri, you have to decide and not contradict yourself in the same sentence. Being a PL supporter does not make opinion more credible and if i were you i wouldn't include the word "respect" in your text next time round.

@ Simon Amato

with all due respect I cannot understand how you come up with this stuff! Mr. Cuschieri is one of the few candidates (from all parties) who has substantial parliamentary experience, which although not exactly the same as that of the EP, is still a valuable asset nontheless. Regarding integrity I think there can be no doubts about Mr. Cuschieri. He has always been a declared social-democrat, constantly practicing what he believes. He was never caught up in anything remotely fishy and he never sold his soul for money or power or high government positions. He only sees the party and the national interest.


You said it yourself, how can someone who doesn't know how a parliament works 'make a difference'. How can some who does not know 'how to handle things in the european parliament' be trusted. That is why we should trust Mr. Cuschieri because he knows procedures and legislation. He has all the credentials to do a great job as an MEP - loyalty, intelligence and integrity.

@ Paul Xuereb. Good point. I suppose that if someone wants to be fair, the hundreds of outside development zones were also tit(s) for tat(s)!

Please allow me a titter. To me and to many others it sounds like a classical,case of tit for tat.
