Dr. Muscat should explain if those were official visits, and how those visits were financed. If EU money was used on those priorities, the starving electorate in Malta should know this.

Cuschieri thinks he owes one to the leader for making him mep.

Muscat needs Cuschieri to push his two faced policy regarding mebership of the EU.

The veto used as a weapon to get whatever it is he thinks us mere mortals will need. Mintoff dressed a’ la Berlusconi.

All his ‘business’ visits happen outside the EU, first China, then Libya, now this. I can understand confidentiality, what I don’t get, and think is due, is the thinking behind the strategy being set out.

Does he intend to finalise agreements first to then take them up with the EU, legal niceties and all? Maybe his days spent at IPSE could lead him to update us on an eventual revision of Josef Bonnici’s thinking when he was minister. Bonnici was the architect of Malta’s long term strategy vis a vis the emerging trade corridors outside the EU and their impact on the union itself.

Not to mention the risks in establishing relations with players who choose to ignore democratic upheaval.

Maybe he is there to pick up the tab?

Segretarju Generali tal-Gnus Maghquda.

Apart from the blue tie, it’s got a green background too. So now he’s after the AD vote as well.

He started off by going for the vote of the far right, then hunters, then LGBT, now PN – blue tie – and AD.

The prime minister might as well call of the election now, because at this rate Muscat will obtain 99% of the vote.

You know, not too many decades ago, this title would havemeant something completely different … :-)

He’s got newly fuzzed-up fluff on his head, too.

Franco Debono solemnly declares that the political utrmoil is over.

When was he made President of the Republic?
