When Arrogance Meets Amnesia: The Failed Dream of Bondi and His Puppet Manuel “Mossad” Delia
Lou Bondi
Lou Bondi has resurfaced yet again to lecture the public on what’s supposedly wrong with the Nationalist Party. But in doing so, he’s calculating—falsely—that the people of Malta suffer from collective amnesia. He thinks we’ve forgotten the very role he played in the PN’s 2013 collapse. He thinks we’ve erased the era when he was the most hated man in Malta, alongside his political cousin, Austin Gatt.
Let’s be clear: Lou Bondi was not a bystander. He was a central figure in the arrogance and elitism that made people sick of the Nationalist Party. Together with Austin Gatt, he embodied a political culture dripping with entitlement and disdain for ordinary people. And in the shadows of this toxic duo stood none other than Manuel “Mossad” Delia—Gatt’s chief of staff and Bondi’s personal protégé.
Agostino Pio Gatt
Yes, that’s right: Bondi’s dream was to see Manuel Delia — unelected, unpopular, and unelectable — enter Parliament from the Fifth District and control the PN from within. They envisioned a party ruled not by principles, but by puppets and personal favours. That dream failed. Miserably.
But Bondi thinks you’ve forgotten.
He thinks you’ve forgotten his smug role in the takedown of Consuelo Scerri Herrera, teaming up with the ‘Saħħara’ of Bidnija in a campaign of character assassination masked as journalism. He thinks you’ve forgotten how his media circus turned into a power tool. He thinks you’ve forgotten how he chased fame, not truth. How he sought influence, not service. And most of all — how he walked away from the wreckage pretending to be a statesman.
But here’s the miscalculation: people haven’t forgotten.
“Mossad” Delia
So before Lou Bondi dares to tell the country what the PN needs, he might want to look in the mirror. Because the fall of the PN didn’t start yesterday. It began with men like him — and with delusions like his.

I beg to differ.
It was Joseph aka Peppi who was the most hated.
With all the adjectives against Bondi’, the PL gave the same man a lucrative job.
On the other hand Delia followed orders from Aust and to my knowledge he is the unwanted man in the PN.
There was a time when Manwel Delia and Robert Aquilina flocked together.
This was the beginning of Repubblika or whatever and to date this “political” NGO was a flop but maybe since revenue remains to flow in, it will not close shop?
