Updated - Adds video - European Commissioner John Dalli this morning strongly denied that he had any links with Franco Debono, as implied in sections of the media.
He said he had never spoken to Dr Debono, on the phone or by other means. Nor did he meet him.
Last week Dr Debono spoke on how Mr Dalli had been unjustly treated by the Nationalist Party, but he also said he had no contact with Mr Dalli.
Last week Mr Dalli refused to comment on the current political crisis in Malta although his spokesman said that he is ‘closely following’ the situation.
Asked for his views on the current political crisis in Malta, Mr Dalli refused to give his views with his spokesman, Frederic Vincent only stating that “Commissioner Dalli - like all Maltese citizens - is following closely the situation in his home country.”
