Arnold Cassola and confused campaigning

Arnold Cassola has consistently been accusing the PN camp of confused campaigning, of the incongruous message being projected. Some have called the PN the rainbow party. Alan Deidun seems to have been the main target of Prof. Cassola's favours.

A few factual references might help to clear the air. Prof. Cassola's election to the Italian Parliament is still featured prominently on the website of the Italian communists.

In fact, he was elected as part of the Arcobaleno coalition which embraced also the Communists. If my Italian is anything to go by, arcobaleno stands for rainbow - there you have it, Prof. Cassola part of a wide-embracing coalition and then criticising the PN for fielding candidates with different views.

In addition, the Greens and the Communists in the European Parliament jointly voted in favour of giving voting rights to immigrants.

The duo seem cast in stone or made in heaven. Locally, we have seen the Greens gravitating mainly to the left, attacking mainly the PN and supporting the PL on a number of issues.

In an interview with the Federalist, Prof. Cassola boasts of the 23,000 votes he garnered in the last EP elections and stated that these were instrumental for his election to the Italian Parliament.

Hence, are we to presume that he considers the local EP elections as a launching pad for his Italian forays?
