On Friday, lawyer Georg Sapiano did what too many Nationalist insiders have done for years: find everyone and everything to blame for Adrian Delia’s catastrophic leadership except Adrian Delia himself. In a telling opinion piece, Sapiano described Delia’s own marriage as a “political problem” for the party – a not-so-subtle way of pinning Delia’s humiliating failures on his ex-wife…. In a surprising twist, Adrian Delia is still legally married to Nikie Vella de Fremaux, amid swirling rumors of separation!
Let’s be clear: Delia’s marriage – and his messy, public separation – were never the real problem. Delia himself was.
The Truth They Don’t Want You to Remember
When Delia bulldozed his way into PN leadership, he already carried more baggage than a lost luggage counter at Heathrow. His own wife tried to make sure the public knew the facts — precisely because he wanted to be Malta’s next Prime Minister. She believed people had a right to judge the man behind the suit.
But Delia ran to court. He requested an injunction to gag her. And the court sided with him. If you dig, you’ll find that even online: the separation and its ugly truth are private, not because his wife wanted it that way — but because Delia fought tooth and nail to keep it locked away.
Domestic Violence Allegations? Who Can Check?
Here’s what Sapiano and the party’s loyalists never mention: whispers of domestic abuse surfaced during those bitter proceedings. Who can check the facts now? The court sealed the evidence. Who knows how many times Delia denied it — or not. The truth is boxed up in a file that ordinary Nationalists will never see.
What we do know is that Delia fought to keep the silence — while his wife pushed for transparency. So ask yourself: when a man blocks the truth in court, then cries victim in public, whose side are you on?
And What About The Money?
Let’s not forget the mountain of debt Delia left behind. Those who sat through the court hearings know the reality: while the party burned through donations and MPs plotted behind closed doors, Delia’s personal finances were a mess.
A Final Word For Sapiano
Georg Sapiano’s blame-the-wife argument is as cheap as it is insulting. It insults every Nationalist voter who trusted Delia, and it insults every woman dragged through public shame because a man in power refuses to face the music.
Delia’s downfall wasn’t his ex-wife. It wasn’t gossip. It wasn’t some Machiavellian plot. It was him — and only him.
One Lesson: Stop Protecting Failures
If the PN wants a future, it must stop recycling old ghosts and stop spinning fairy tales about their tragic hero, Adrian Delia. The truth is out there for anyone willing to see it — or in this case, for anyone willing to fight to unseal it.
