| Abstract: | On 7 October 1994, in a programme aired on a Maltese radio station, the presenter and owner of the station, Mr Joseph Grima, made several vulgar, insolent and unfair remarks about the ex-Chairman of the Broadcasting Authority, Professor Joseph M. Pirotta. Amongst other things, Mr Grima claimed that the Authority’s ex-Chairman had regularly acted in an incorrect way, in a biased and discriminatory manner and on instructions from the Prime Minister. Professor Pirotta was also referred to by such appellations as “stupid” and “a fool”. |
