I have the greatest of respect for Tonio Borg and I would like to express my disgust towards those Socialist and other MEPs who made him sign a declaration on seven points.
How many other European Commissioners were asked to do the same? I am sorry Borg agreed to sign the declaration.
When Rocco Buttiglione’s nomination as a Commissioner had to be withdrawn because of opposition from the European Parliament, I had said that if I were the Italian Prime Minister I would never nominate anybody else to replace him.
I voted ‘Yes’ for Malta’s membership of the European Union, but this is not the Europe I voted for, a Europe rotten in values.
