Labour MEP Marlene Mizzi accuses EPP leader of ‘shameful’, ‘offensive’ letter

Labour MEP Marlene Mizzi has written to the head of the European People's Party chief Manfred Weber complaining about the "shameful letter" he wrote to European Parliament President Antonio Tajani.

Weber had written to Tajani underlining the need for an MEP delegation visiting Malta to be given suitable protection.

In her letter, Mizzi said Weber had been "offensive to the State of Malta and to the majority of Maltese people, because it is a misrepresentation of the factual situation in Malta".

"I suspect that you are repeating what you have been told by persons who only have partisan interest at heart. I would have expected a more responsible behaviour from a head of a major political group."

"The atrocious murder of (Daphne) Caruana Galizia has shocked all Maltese persons and rest assured that we all want justice to prevail. Nobody needs to tell us so," Mizzi wrote.

"But to exploit this assassination to throw aspersions on a country, when atrocious acts, unfortunately happen   everywhere, including your own country, is shameful and irresponsible," she said.
