Nationalist Party deputy leader Mario de Marco speaks about his health and responds to political critics in a candid interview on Times Talk. 

Dr de Marco speaks openly about his battle with a rare facial tumour which left half his face paralysed and the distress he felt when critics commented about his absence from the political scene.

He also fields questions about his relations with party leader Simon Busuttil and his views about controversial candidate Salvu Mallia. 

The 12-minute interview will be uploaded on timesofmalta.com tomorrow morning.
