The PN hierarchy has already decided the result of the magisterial inquiry into the shooting incident involving the Home Affairs Minister’s security driver. In fact, they have already shot the inquiry down by inferring it will find he was not involved in any cover-up.

What these honourable gentlemen want is that they, and they alone, have the right to decide if Manuel Mallia is guilty or not of a cover-up. In fact, they have already decided that he is guilty. And they are all lawyers, mind you. They want to be the judge and jury in this case.

I really believe that Mallia has been the PN’s number one target ever since he announced his candidature on the PL list way back in 2012 after having been a PN activist and president of the PN club in Gżira.

The PN leadership know that he had given a hard blow to the PN’s popularity among middle class and business people. So they have been after his political blood ever since.

This is their latest attempt to get even with Mallia.
