The Party of Stupid (by Raphael Vassallo)

The Party of Stupid (by Raphael Vassallo)

Unfortunately, as someone has told me these days : If Mintoff could in some ways be associated with physical violence, Lawrence ‘DCG’ Gonzi’s name could go down in history tainted with the systematic moral violence which was used to quash dissent against him

Raphael Vassallo is one of  the first to write in the independent media about the horrendous democratic implications of the PN Executive procedures and condemnations, in  a balanced analysis of the current political situation. But then Raphael Vassallo is not Andrew ‘jack-af -all-trades’ Azzopardi, PBS raido presenter and L-Orizzont columnist, appointed by government on Family Board without call for applications (as was promised in PN electoral manifesto).

http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/en/blogsdetails/blogs/The-Party-of-Stupid

I would add that Lawrence ‘DCG’ Gonzi should take stock of the situation in his parliamentary group NOW and not drag his feet any longer dragging this country into more uncertainty. He should not realise he has problems on Christmas eve. If decisions have to be taken, they should be taken NOW, and  not in October, risking to spoil the festive season for the whole nation.

When you build a wall and drive straight into it, you might think you are smart and have sufficient control over all the media to plead that it was the wall’s fault, but no one will believe you. If you dig potholes and you drive straight into them, you cant blame the puncture! You can, and having control over almost all media helps, but you won’t manage.

The fact that political parties in Malta are the most unregulated bodies at Maltese Law puts them almost above the law. This situation is not only greatly detrimental to democracy but is in stark contrast to the situation in all other European countries.

In Germany the Political Parties Act lays down the minimum requirements a political party must observe. No such law exists in Malta. In terms of the German Political Parties Act the disciplinary processes are exercised by the party arbitration tribunals. Under this law all the members of the PN Executive Committee who were the ones acting as prosecutors and judges at the same time, would be disqualified. All of them, just to give an idea of the democratic situation within the party. 

In terms of this law, which reflects the state of most other European jurisdictions and legal systems,  all disciplinary proceedings against Hon Jeffrey Pullicino orlando, Jesmond Mugliette and myself as well as those in regards to Richard Cachia Caruana are all null, void, without effect and illegal.

If the PN Executive decisions and proceedings are tested in  a Court of Law by means of  a lawsuit, they would also be declared null,void and illegal due to groos and blatant breach of the Rules of Natural Justice (see Alex Mangion vs Anthony Cilia 20/5/2004 First Hall of the Civil Court per Judge Tonio Mallia)

The Rules of Natural Justice mean that one cannot be a judge in his own cause, and one has a right to a defence.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if you  read about this in the ‘independent’ media, if it exists in Malta!

Section 14 of the Law on Political parties (Germany) :

Party arbitration tribunals

(1)Arbitration tribunals shall be set up at least at the level of the party itself and of the top-level regional branches to settle, and decide on, disputes between the party or a regional/local branch, on the one hand, and individual members, on the other, as well as disputes over the interpretation and implementation of the statutes.

(2)The members of the arbitration tribunals shall be elected for a maximum of four years. They must not be members of the Executive Committee of either the party or any of its regional/local branches; nor be employed by the party or any of its branches; nor receive regular income from them. They shall be independent and not be bound by instructions.

 (3) The statutes may allow the parties to the dispute, either in general or on a case-by-case basis, to nominate equal numbers of assessors to the arbitration tribunals.

(4) The functions of such arbitration tribunals shall be governed by rules on arbitration procedures designed to guarantee litigants a legal hearing, fair proceedings and the possibility to reject any member of the arbitration tribunal for partiality.

       *               *                *                *                   *               *                 *                  *                *                    *

 When I was unjustly and unlawfuly condemned by the PN Executive, the matter was not on the agenda of the meeting , I was not informed of the matter, and hence I could not have presented my defence. The Executive Committee acted as prosecutor and judge behind my back.

To add insult to injury, it was impossible for me to attend since at the same time I was in parliament finishing off a three and a half hour speech about justice and home affairs reforms, some of which have already been taken ob board by the government. They formed part of my 24 point private motion on extensive reforms in justice and home affairs.

At the same time the PN executive comiitee was condemning me behind my back for disobeying the whip, in the Carm Mifsud Bonnici vote for gross mismanagement in the justice sectro and blocking essential reforms which I had proposed and which after his resignation have beent aken on board by the government.

That is why I contested the condemnation on procedural grounds and also on the merits. I will also be raising the issue of discrimination, vis-a-vis other candidates who have quite some baggage including criminal convictions, and yet have been approved by the same executive committee.

    Dear Dr. Andrew Borg Cardona known as ‘Il-Bocca’ and best friends with RCC and DCG, why haven’t you yet denied that you were found guilty by the data protection commissioner of a breech upon request from a certain person from Zurrieq?

    Did the commission for the administration of justice take any steps against you? What is the difference between data protection and professional secrecy?

    Franco let me tell you who the executive committe should have condemned instead of approving him as a candidate for the next election.

    They should have condemned that approved candidate for the enext election who has been afflicted for long years by a very acute drug habit and of which everyone is aware. They should have condemned that approved PN candidate who during divorce debate used to be side by side with Lawrence Gonzi with his mistress while his wife was at home. Once you present yourself with your pogguta in public events with the Prime Minister, it no longer remains a private affair.

    Whilst Gonzi was preaching against divorce, this guy used to be ebside him with one of his mistresses whilst his wife was at home and kids. PN executive committee should have condemned same person who has promised a person I know that he was fleeing with her to Australia whilst her husband was in prison. Instead of condemning this drug addict, hamallu imgerfex they confirmed him as a PN candidate for next election. They should have sent him to Sedqa or Caritas instead.

    I will not vote PN next election

    Is it true taht Prf. Albert Fenech new PN part time candidate has a pending criminal case because he had an argument with a tenant who was occupying one of his properties? Is it true that Prof. Fenech has pending procedure regarding pretended rights or something similar? Is it true that he also has a pending civil case regarding the exercise of his profession where he is defendant?

      All is possible; We have learnt here that DCG son had a drug related case, as well as a r*** related case –
      Andrew Borg Cardona- had a case related to Data Protection when he served as Consultant with ETC.

    The party executive committee should not have condemned you Franco. It should have condemned Herman Schiavone years ago for making an unfounded and illegal allegation in your regards which todate he has neither substantiated nor withdrawn. For Schiavone whose father was very close to Dom Mintoff it is very easy to say that the Pn party is supreme after his family got a one million euro kiosk on a government public land spoiling M’Xlokk seafront.

      so finally we have the cat out of the bag!! so now we know Daphne got chosen as PR for the Ministry of Tonio Fenech.
      From what I read on the Times, she does not get paid per piece work but gets 30 euro an hour which is the same rate of a Chinese Masseuse for a full bod massage LOL
      It is intriguing how come a professional job is calculated per hour and not per job.
      I would imagine this was not a direct order but she was enrolled after a public call of interest.
      I imagine there are other agencies such as LIGHTHOUSE that Tonio Fench knows of, that could have done the job -but seems that Tonio Fenech did not think such agency was up to scratch..

      Narcy cause your name has half of the meaning , it might be you think you have a narcissist view, If Mintoff was so , he would have never made such an impact on the welfare state, never left debts, and in fact Mintoff was just a financial accumulator. Hitler was a narcissist meaning, personality disorder. Do not even think of comparing such a statesman like Mintoff with Hitler, Mussolini and Gaddafi as the latter one was even hugged by our Prime Minister just before he was overthrown. Mind you Mussolini was a good friend of an ex PN leader , who was suspected of being a fascist and was exiled to Uganda. Narcissist were dictators and were all overthrown, due that they had personality disorder, one would become literally insane, if he is a narcissist.

Narcissist were dictators and were all overthrown, due that they had personality disorder, one would become literally insane, in time, if he was a narcissist. Mintoff was a good Samaritan, Narcissist is who claims that we are financially stable in 2008, after some months he increases high utility bills and high inflation, like Gas has increased x5, 35% tax promised to 25% and never materialized. That must have a good touch of an narcissist.

        Ok I give him credit for the good things he did for our country, but his negative qualities sure lean on narcissistic traits.
        Mintoff was persistent and successful but he was also self destructive in some ways.
        I have mixed feelings on that era,and I wish that someone writes objectivly about this great personality that has been a great influence on the history of the Rock.

        • bulldog
          Posted at 10:08h, 27 August

          Self destructive like what may I ask? In those days he had to be a financial accumulator. He used to go and beg for money without any attachments. He got a lot. He done a lot, like all those umpteen assets and entities he managed to create, adding up even with Gold reserves. He did not want importation to exceed exportation, just to keep people employed. Building many factories to produce even processed food. Brought many foreign investments like De la Rue and SGS. Narcissistic traits is a very offensive meaning. He did create enemies I’d say cause in the end people had so much money that they couldn’t buy what they wished, but than plenty of currency would have been transferred abroad and that is where deficit will emerge. He wished that people would want a decent bathroom first before buying a colour TV. But that does not mean he was a narcissist at all. Mentioning the sixties, under a PN Government , where I was brought up just one family in a whole road only had a bathroom and they belonged to the so called Gunta, staunch activists and they were the richest around that neighborhood and were given a free grand by PN to build a bathroom. I can assure you Mintoff wanted the rich to remain rich so to employ more workers and the poor to have a decent home and decent wages, he was the one that created the middle man. Narcissist is the wrong end of the stick, must admit we do have some Ministers today that are narcissistic.

          Self destructive in what way you ask? From salvatur to traditur……and now to missier Malta!
          You claim that Narcissist is the wrong end of the stick. I say that, a fair dose of the trait won’t harm in politics, as long as the right checks and balances are in place to regulate everything and everyone.
          The right laws will take care of that problem.
          NO ONE should have absolute authority for the simple reason that being in a powerful position would turn anybody into an arrogant, presumptuous, and big headed person.
          Mintoff, is a Personality to be admired and feared and in no way will I ever think of likening him to Hitler, as Hitler had some other more serious disorders which I wouldn’t dare discuss as I’m not learned in these matters. Mine are just observations.

      The PN are in a state of having to accept as the Italians say “cani e porci” (like Carolina il Majalona).
      Austin undermined Gonzi. He managed to wreck havoc in the party practically destroying it after draining Malta.
      He will now be after putting Beppe as leader and shall change places with him.
      Austin will return to his office which Beppe has been care taking, and with Beppe in power, Austin can pull the strings, since Beppe is not up to standard.

    Your resignation was not accepted for the very same reason that you were not expelled from the party, but ‘only’ prohibited from contesting next elections, and that reason was to maintain the parliamentary majority. It was not because they didn’t wAnt to accept it, but because their hands were tied, the price to pay was too high. Which also applies to not expelling you in July. Its pretty obvious. Furthermore the reason you were punished was purely to pretend that the party is strong and will not tolerate deviant behaviour.

    Franco, I have been looking from your perspective two years now. I know how you feel when your own party “supposed to be with the same political views” .

    I am an ex-PN and the reason I decided to de-associate from the party is the EU. EFA was a very good leader but before he finished his job as PM he made two big mistakes like Mintoff did. EFA choose Gonzi from the very first time and in my opinion Dalli is much more better then GonziPn = KMB. The second mistake is EDA dragged us to the EU. I lost half of my life when we entered the EU in 2004 and another quarter in 2008 following the EU currency.

    EU main parties are Labour/ (Labour Mentality) and EDA should have never tried to enter this one way ticket to hell. 20 years ago Malta was left with two extreme Parties; Left and Right. My wish at that time was that both parties should move to each other in ideas, but today we have the PL which moved a lot from the left to the centre and the PN moved between the centre and the Left.

    We defiantly need a new Right Mentality Party as we are missing our identity as true Nationalists. Norman Lowell is Far Right although he is a valuable asset to the Maltese country there is still the need of a normal right Party.

    Would you like to consider plan something like this in the future? You will defiantly get a chair or two from true Nationalists. Gonzi Party is a Communist corrupted party which is giving away all the money to the big heads and LAQX to the ex-middle class. I don’t trust a Socialist to rule a small country like this.

    Thank you for your support and for being our voice in Parliament,

      Joe I get your point. No one can stop or ask DCG to stop her venomous crusade. The being is provoking people so the PN can than make a martyr out of her. Like when she said her dogs were stolen. It was all a lie.
      No one could get near them, I assure you.
      Daphne is being used as a lure to create trouble. Pray God that no one bothers about her provocations.
      She is used as a smoke screen to distract people from the real issues.
      She is but a mercenary with no scruples as long as she and her family can make money.
      The best way to kill her is what we are doing, just ignore her.
      From what I see there has been a complete migration from her blog to here.
      You for one!
      And so many others that cannot keep away from here because you are afraid of what you shall be reading next.
      I take the liberty to thank you for coming here.
      This is a democratic blog, thanks to Franco Debono.
      When I once wrote on Daphne’s blog giving her what I thought was paternal advice, she insulted me dragging out skeletons from the cupboards.

          I do know a lot about her, yet I have visited her home, I even met her son Andrew this week. He too is ashamed of her after what she did and said about Mintoff..she has crossed the Rubicon.
          I do not even peep in her blog anymore because it is not my cuppa tea, brainwashing silly people engulfed in gossip and in the meantime inciting class hatred.
          She is a true racist with a pedigree better then her dogs have.
          She instills hate between us Maltese, giving the synonym of hamalli and injoranti to labourites.
          I occasionally simply hear people talk about her, and always give them my advice to ignore her.
          She has a wretched life..may she live in these conditions for at least 100 years!

        The people and the Party banned them, ridiculed them, boycotted them but time proved them right.

    And even if you somehow managed to scrape enough votes to get back in parliament, it is virtually certain, also thanks to your own efforts, that you would end up in opposition, where the PN could at leisure expel you to their heart’s content putting the blame for losing the election squarely on your shoulders.

    Human Trafficking in Malta

    A big network of human traffickers is operating in Malta managed by the Romanian Mafia.Most of the girls work in the strip clubs in paceville. These clubs pay protection money to the police (St.Julians Police Station) so that they get warned before hand if a raid is planned. A certain Ramon ( olive skinned policeman) manages th scheme. In thee clubs everything sexual is possible as it all happens in private areas of the clubs.the owners argue that only lap dancing takes place but this is a big lie. Mind you big money s earned and no cent in taxes is paid. These poor trafficked girls are moslty on hard drugs ( sold by the same bouncers working in the clubs). They live in a block of flats in St.Julians guarded under the watchful eye of some
    Romainian thugs.

    This is Malta dear friends. When is the police going to start arresting people?

    It seems that Mrs Daphne Caruana Galizia did not like my posts when I referred that there are persons in Malta who are very accomodating to this rotten system (xibka ta hazen) and would like the status quo to remain in place. corrupt unknowns are people who are making millions of euros yearly in the drug industry of Malta. Could someone from the legal entities in Malta (magistrati u imhallfin) and powerful politicians in Malta who have the power to investigate do so? Therfore Franco Debono is right in claiming that we need effective laws that counteract and safeguard peoples’ interests versus the corrupt unknowns. What is wrong with these proposals?

    Franco,you have made Malta aware that somewhere in the shadows lurks a hand,a hand that has a mind.A mind of it’s own.It’s own agenda.To grip to power at all costs.
    So what is my point with all this…My point is that..you
    HAVE TO keep strong,dont let them make you loose your cool,even though they are on a crusade to do just that.You are a fighter Franco. You are a surviver Franco and they will never bring you down.
    Just like Brave heart,you will fight your believes through heaven and hell.

    May God be with you.

They had better rest, as it is going to be so bloody hard for them come october to keep a goverment if they do not correct thier wrongdoings, franco’s condemnation is just one of them. i can only see one road ahead for the oligarchy , straight down the annals of history as malta’s 21st century dark ages.

            @ Chlamydia; we have all heard and know about the private army called Gakketta Blue ( 100 of them).
            These paramilitary were under the guidance of Charles Demicoli ex Superintendent and Ernest Tonna. They were drilled on how to use firearms brought into Malta as contraband by one of our leading Truck forwarders and paid by Nationalist supporters.
            Who they were supposed to shoot at? you can imagine- well part of the drill was how to pull the arms out of a well, situated next to PPB field just a rubble wall away.
            of course all the top brass that had anything to do with all this got compensated from our Funds.
            To day all these are millioners, either because they got free Government land which they sold for millions, or by being awarded tenders or 2 or 3 jobs of 25,000 each.

    Of course, Franco’s opinion is shared materially by many. However, the Labour party seems uneager to grab the reins of Government, otherwise they would have following on past PN footsteps and organised a silent “revolution”. There is precedent for this. If the PL are taking it too slow, than it should be ordinary citizens together with AD to take the reins of the silent “revolution”.
