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.

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.

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.
