Adrian Delia is back — not with a vision, not with a plan — but with the same toxic cocktail of personal pride, shady connections, and political spite that defined his disastrous first stint as Nationalist Party leader.
This is a man with remarkable experience in one thing only: covering up scandals and reinventing narratives, not for the good of the party, but for his own short-term survival.
We’ve seen this movie before. Remember the Italian supermarket chains that changed names like they changed logos — opening in Malta with promises, only to fade into nothing?
Delia was their lawyer? Their representative? Their fixer?
So let’s ask the obvious question:
Are these same Italian entities now bankrolling his campaign?
Is there a backroom promise to help settle the PN’s €40 million debt… in exchange for influence?
And if so, at what cost to the Nationalist Party?
Because let’s be clear: Delia doesn’t want to lead — he wants revenge.
Adrian Delia
This is about settling scores with those who pushed him out — not rebuilding the PN.
It’s about being the man who wins “round two” — only to hand a poisoned chalice to whoever takes over after the next general election.
And what’s this we’re hearing? That some of these same companies — including one that once couldn’t even open a bank account in Malta after failing due diligence — are circling again?
Is this the same circus behind the infamous Istrina farce?
This time, we’re told, due diligence won’t be a problem. Why?
Because Delia thinks the right people will write the right report, and shady backers will once again be welcomed as “saviours” of the party.
Adrian Delia isn’t trying to lead a party.
He’s trying to stage a comeback — built on vengeance, vanity, rebranding and vulture politics.
And if the Nationalist Party falls for it again, it won’t just lose another election — it will lose its soul.
