Nationalist candidate Frank Portelli talked tough on illegal immigration and on Libya in a six-minute interview with Herman Grech.

The people, he said, were terrified by the migrants invasion and the fact that there were more migrants than soldiers.

Asked if he was using religion as part of the argument, Dr Portelli asked his interviewer whether he agreed with female circumcision.

It was unacceptable, he said, that the migrants destroyed their identity documents before coming to Malta when they were seeking protection.
