@CM & TG

Personally I condemn ANY Maltese Govt for allowing ARMED warships into our ports against our constitution.

Will you do the same no matter what nation they come from or are you just pointing fingers at others for not doing so and for cheap political gain?

@ I G M
Warships from different nations have entered our harbour on many occasions. There were French, Italian, German, British, Russian, Dutch and others. That is exactly what neutrality is all about. It is breached only when we discriminate between who we let in and who we don't, or inviting warships of warring nations. Graffiti are selective no doubt, and have their own nasty agenda

@JM

Actually our constitution CLEARLY FORBIDS any ARMED Naval ships in our port. it is VERY CLEAR about this point - no ambiguity!

You seem to pick on Graffiti for voicing an opinion but you do not so the same to YOUR GOVT who is simply breaching this HIGHEST law!

Why do you point fingers at Graffiti and not your own Govt?

Political convenience?
