Who said that Joseph Muscat does not know what he is doing?

One doesn’t pass comments like these for the fun of it or just out of spite.

“Barroso faces Dalli in court”. should have read “Dalli faces Barroso in court”.

What is shocking in this case is that, despite being fully aware of Dalli’s moves, a shameless Muscat appointed him as a consultant to the government.

On Monday, Dalli denied there had been anything inappropriate in his contact with lobbyists, saying he had met one in a hotel for 20 minutes in his swimming trunks, without knowing who he was.

As the Maltese saying goes “kien diga qed jiekol il-kirxa mieghu”
