Herr Flick favoured a special relationship with Libya over EU membership.

LIBYAN MINISTER MEETS MLP SPOKESMAN
Labour finance spokesman Leo Brincat yesterday told the Libyan minister of commerce and economy, Dr Shoukri Muhammad Ghanem, the government’s obsession with European Union membership was impeding Malta’s relations with Libya.
The two sides discussed the 1999 White Paper on the privatisation of the Arab-Maltese Holding Company, the supermarket Limsuk and the opening of a Libyan bank in Malta.

This was a few months before the referendum on EU membership.

It’s the first thing on his mind when he wakes up.

Sorry if this has been discussed before but do you believe that it was the links with Gaddafi that made the MLP so anti-EU?
[Daphne – Yes.]
Yes with knobs on. MLP and Gaddafi – a marriage made in heaven.

Isn’t it obvious?
Malta had that neutrality clause inserted into the Constitution on Gaddafi’s insistence.
Malta got over the EU bit, got over the military agreement Labour signed with Libya (allowed to expire by the Nats and never resurrected, thank God) but is still stuck with the neutrality clause which has repeatedly made us look terribly weak and not trusted by anyone, as all those are who refuse to take a stance.
You touch upon a complex subject – complex because nobody dares state the truth. Both parties see neutrality not as one political choice among many, but as THE right moral choice, because of the old “Thou shalt not kill”.
When you think like a Catholic, and make policy like a Catholic, war is relegated to the realm of evil. Neutrality is then seen as the embodiment of pacifism, which is the Right Way. QED.
The person, who you rightly call Herr Flick, was once kicked and thrown from the bus by his Lyceum colleagues, in the early 60s, because he was accused of being a teacher’s snitch.
From that day, I have kept a barge-pole’s distance from him. I can easily categorise my ex-school pals as those who made a success of their lives and those who joined the Labour Party.
SC, What other explanation is there? Partnership?
Not only that, Labour neutralized Malta to please Gaddafi.
Wrong. Labour NEUTERED Malta to please Gheddafi.
Also – Arabic compulsory in schools – green passports with Arabic translation.
“Libyan green” buses …
Thanks for the responses.
I just hadn’t put two and two together until now.
So either Muscat (who was so strongly against EU membership) knew of the relationship and the funding from Gaddafi which made him so anti-EU or he blindly followed Sant. Either way he isn’t cut out to be a leader of anything let alone an EU member country.
