Reading the article on the National Bank Theft (May 22), I was surprised at Eddie Fenech Adami’s comment about not taking sides. I know of at least one shareholder still alive today who would willingly under oath recount how Dr Fenech Adami sat in her living room before the 1987 election and assured her the shareholders would get justice.

... everyone... who suffered injustices during ‘those dark days’... should write in with their stories...- Michael Micovic, Sliema

I had the personal assurances of two Nationalist ministers that the shareholders would receive justice (one is dead and the other retired). The now retired minister once knocked on my door and asked me not to forget him when I went to vote (in another election). I replied “certainly just as you remembered the shareholders of the National Bank”.

As the above gentlemen claim to be “men of honesty and integrity” I can only surmise that they suffer from selective severe memory loss.

In my naïve way I expected better from the Nationalist Party. So when the GonziPN electioneering begins and they warn us of a return to the dark days of Labour, I will ask who is more honest, Dom Mintoff, who made very clear he would get the “bank by hook or by crook”, or the Nationalists who promised the shareholders justice? And never delivered!

I think that everyone (not just the shareholders of the bank) who suffered injustices during “those dark days” and were promised justice they never received, should write in with their stories so we can all see just how true the Nationalist Party’s claim of “justice for all” in 1987 stands the scrutiny of 2012.
