Jeffrey Pullicino takes credit for the Nationalist Party’s wafer-thin 2008 election victory in his new memoirs, recalling the Mistra scandal which took centre stage just days before the country went to the polls.
Pullicino Orlando, then an up-and-coming PN MP with green credentials, had rented his land in Mistra for an open-air disco, sparking a political storm with polls showing the two parties running neck and neck.
In his memoirs titled With All Due Respect launched on Wednesday night, the former Nationalist MP writes about the day he confronted then Labour leader Alfred Sant in a bizarre press conference, where he was given a press card to represent the PN media.
The highly anticipated film adaptation of Alex Vella Gera’s National Book Prize winning novel Is-Sriep Reġgħu saru Velenużi (Merlin Publishers, 2012) will hit the big screen on Friday, August 6 at Eden Cinemas. Ahead of its launch in a few weeks we speak to its director and producer Martin Bonnici. The film Is-Sriep Reġgħu saru Velenużi was produced with the support of the National Book Council’s inaugural Film Adaptation Fund.
