Gejtu Vella, the general secretary of the Union Ħaddiema Magħqudin, has filed two libel suits against the rival union's newspaper l-orizzont over two articles.
The first libel suit is against Gejtu Mercieca, the GWU's deputy general secretary, and the newspaper's editor Frans Ghirxi and is related to an article entitled M'hemmx Irġulija!
The second case is about an article entitled Il-PN Partit Privileġġjat tal-UĦM, written by Joe Chetcuti. Mr Vella sued both Mr Ghirxi and Mr Chetcuti.
