1. Good luck Tonio!
Next Tuesday Dr Tonio Borg, Malta Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs will
face the appropriate committee of the European Parliament in a hearing which is part of the
procedure adopted before someone can become a Commissioner of the European Union. The
candidature proposed by the Government has the support of the Partit Laburista.
In my commentary in The Sunday Times of November 4 I noted that Tonio Borg would not worry
if a sense of fairness prevails. But I also expressed doubts whether this sense of fairness
exists. The reason for my doubting is the existence of an anti-Christian secularist lobby in the
EU Parliament and the existence of secularist NGOs which will be vigorously protesting outside
the building. I wrote that they are out for Tonio’s blood not because he is Tonio Borg but
because he espouses Christian values. It is the Christian ethos which is so much hated by the
secularists that will be under attack.
The fears expressed by me were today expressed by the Brussels-based European Dignity
Watch. The Watch has hit out at what it sees as a coordinated campaign opposing the
nomination of Tonio Borg to the European Commission.
