					<description><![CDATA[Call me conspiracy theorist, but the reason why Aaron Bugeja was made a magistrate has nothing to do with his Labour leanings. There are many other Labour lawyers who would have made the grade.

He worked at the AG&#039;s office and was by far the best prosecutor they had there. Look at the cases he was handling in court. You&#039;ll find that one of them rings a bell.

This is merely a case of someone being kicked upstairs.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is something about these factions which needs more analysis.

It had been stated before on this blog that Consuelo was appointed magistrate at the time of the Sant government, when George Abela was deputy leader of Labour.

Abela was Joseph Muscat&#039;s main rival for the post of Labour Leader in 2008.  Back then, Jason Micallef openly made clear that he did not support the leadership bid of George Abela (The Times, 16 March 2008), effectively lending a hand to Muscat to become leader.

It is therefore possible that the Herreras are closer to the Abela side of the party, and therefore find themselves within that faction which in 2008 opposed the leadership of Joseph Muscat, and actually lost their bid.

But how does one explain Jason&#039;s &#039;close connection&#039; with the Herreras considering his opposition to Abela?  This needs to be explained.]]></description>
