Who are you, Eddy Privitera, to pontificate that Joseph Muscat doesn’t hold anything against George Abela?

George Abela stood tall once more. He just taught Joseph Muscat a lesson in politics and diplomacy. The harder Muscat tries to stand tall with the likes of George Abela, the more puerile he is going to be proven.

When he contested against Muscat for the Labour Party leadership he saw how the party treated him.

So sick.

At least there are a few – so few! – who can see through him.

If anything, Dr. Muscat has again proven that he doesn`t hold anything against Dr. Abela. But you are alleging that Dr. Abela is still holding the fact that Dr.Muscat had won the leadership, against the prime minister !

George Abela’s response was the appropriate answer.

Could this be the trigger for Muscat’s offer? And so he wants to please those who wish George Abela to help the party.
