Malta’s ambassador to Finland, Michael Zammit Tabona, was discredited by a Facebook message.
In it he wrote last week: “75 years ago we stopped Hitler. Who will stop Angela Merkel? She has fulfilled Hitler’s dream! Control Europe.”

Zammit Tabona decided to resign after the commotion. This was ‘immediately’ accepted by the Maltese foreign minister, Evarist Bartolo.
Mutual respect between Malta and Germany
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Malta writes that “the ambassador’s remarks about German Chancellor Angela Merkel were not representative of the friendship and mutual respect between Malta and Germany.”

The Facebook post has since been removed. The ambassador has not responded to the fuss.
