Jeremy Dalli (second from right) has now resigned from the Lija council.
PN Lija councillor Jeremy Anthony Dalli has resigned from his post on the local council after the Public Broadcasting Services produced a new set of guidelines for its workers.
This morning, the PBS launched a new set of rules regulating its workers, emphasising impartiality. One of the guidelines prohibits PBS workers from "expressing public support for any political party or express views or lobby in favour of or against a policy which is a matter of current party political debate or a matter of public or industrial controversy; stating in public how one intends to vote or how one has just voted in an election or referendum; endorse political candidates".

@Neil..naqbel perfettament li bniedem mghandix ikun involut politikament u jahdem il PBS! U nahseb Is sur Dalli wara li hargu or regoli il godda irrezenja mill kunsill lokali. Mghandix dubju li lill Hal Lija se jibqa jghina b'hafna modi kif dejjem ghamel!
Rigward ix xol tieghu nemmen li se jkun qed jaghmel hiltu kollha biex ikompli jpoggi l-istazzjon nazzjonali il quddiem bhalma dejjem ghamel ma Net Tv!
•
@ Trek: Naqbel mieghek li m'ghandux jitpogga bniedem wiehed biss taht il-lenti.
Il-punt kollu hu li ma jaghmilx assolutament sens li wiehed ikun kunsillier ta' partit politiku u fl-istess hin b'kariga l-PBS.
Jekk hemm ohrajn li kienu bhas-sur Dalli ghandhom jirrizenjaw ukoll.

Min Jaf lis-Sur Dalli kulhadd jaf xi bniedem hu! Bniedem li il media f'Malta ghanda bzonnu zgur. Dirretur Kapaci u Editor Bravu Hafna..Jixraqlu jahdem max xandir ta l-istat ghaliex huwa persuna li zgur mhux se jiffavorixxi xi partit jew iehor ghax bniedem Professjonali!
Ma nahsibx li mal PBS mhemmx laburisti jahdmu?? ma nahsibx li ghandna nattakaw persun wahda biss!
•
Jien stennejt li s-sur Dalli jirrizenja mill PBS u jibqa kunsillier!!!!

min irrid idahhaq jew jithaq b'min?????

PBS qeda tipprova taghti ix xemx blarbil.issa ir regolamenti meta ghamiltu il pbs qisu net2.
•
Qeghdin jippruvaw jghattu x-xemx bl-gharbiel !KIf qatt il-Kamra tal-Ahbarijiet tal-PBS tkun imparzjali jekk iddeffsu gurnalisti nazzjonalisti BISS ! Mhux ovvju x'kien il-pjan ? Issa billi tohrog guidelines biex ma jidhrux f'attivitajiet ta' partiti politici etc..b'daqshekk mhux xorta jistghu b'mod sottili jghamlu propaganda partiggjana ! Ara kif Lou Bondi QATT jista jinbidel !
•
This is all bluff. Does this means that Jeremy Anthony Dalli will ever stop being Nationalist ?. What about the rest of the clan at PBS ?. What about Lou Bondi ? Can he ever be independent under any imagination ?. Please treat the Maltese as intelligent people, and please change from PBS to NET2.

Too late PBS your agenda has long been uncovered.
