Ivan Bartolo’s new show ‘Vespri’ on Favourite Channel was a good presentation of the facts surrounding the brutal killing of Raymond Caruana and the infamous frame-up (frame-ups are always infamous) of P.P. Busuttil. Although there is no excuse for the two horrendous acts, I would have expected to hear a comment or two by some of the personalities whose reputation was tarnished by the expressed personal opinion of P.P. Busuttil. For all we know they may have been completely unaware that the whole charade was a dastardly manufactured frame-up.
Since the two incidents happened during the most turbulent period of our political history one would have expected the presenter to emphasize those facts, even though that does not justify the wrongdoings. The presenter said he had tried to include the story of Karen Grech as part of the show but he was precluded from doing so due to the justified absence of Dr Chetcuti Caruana, but declined to tell us whether there was an effort to interview members of Karen’s immediate family.
At any rate I do not feel that the murder of another political victim should be treated as a small part of the whole story. It merits a full documentary as that presented on the tragedy of Raymond Caruana, no more no less; unless we want to just present the facts of only a selected part of that epoch.
