John Dalli Signs Simon Mercieca’s Nomination To Contest MEP Election
History lecturer and blogger Simon Mercieca has announced that he will contest the upcoming MEP election.
His nomination was signed by John Dalli, a former PN minister who spent two years as European Commissioner for Health before being forced to resign in 2012 in the wake of the snus scandal.
Mercieca will be contesting as part of a group of independents, along with Alexander D’Agata and Radu Gheorghi.
“If other prospective MEP candidates want to join this pool of mutual support, we will welcome you on board. There is victory in unity,” he wrote.
A history lecturer, Mercieca has in recent years used this blog to try and pitch himself as an “anti-woke” campaigner. However, he has himself taken great offence at comments passed against him. In 2020, he demanded the University of Malta take action against Matthew Caruana Galizia for calling him a “single-celled organism”, accusing him of “racism” and “fascism”.
This action was co-financed by the European Union in the frame of the European Parliament’s grant programme in the field of communication. The European Parliament was not involved in its preparation and is, in no case, responsible for or bound by the information or opinions expressed in the context of this action. In accordance with applicable law, the authors, interviewed people, publishers or programme broadcasters are solely responsible.
