Maybe he had a Damascene conversion. Or maybe he’s just a self-deluding hypocrite. In the 1980s video beneath, Leo Brincat is the man ringed in red, applauding like a maniac when prime minister Dom Mintoff makes a rabble-rousing speech about arming (that is, giving weapons to) Labour Party supporters to quell opposition to his government’s policies.

Would Herr Flick and his fossil colleagues from Mintoff cabinet tweeted #Je Suis Mabel or #Je Suis Times in 1979?
Je suis Tal-Barrani.
Consistency has never been Lejber’s trademark. Today they want Integration, and because, you know, circumstances change, tomorrow they’ll clamour for Independence. Opportunism at its best.
Leo certainly got that right – only yesterday. He had ample time to look for his heart and mind during the 80s. But did he?
I wonder if readers recall the ban on words like ‘nazzjon’, ‘Malta’ and ‘national’, several ‘personae non gratae’ barred from addressing the public at PN meetings, and Richard Muscat broadcasting from Sicily on Radju Liberta’. But all is not lost, Leo has an occasional change of heart. Yesterday pour les Francais, and quelquefois for tree-lovers.
Agreed. Leo Brincat was one of those Socialist MPs who actively supported Mintoff’s mounting pressure through intimidation and blackmail on the Italian government (1982) to close StudioMaster tv in 1982. The aim was to silence the voice of the majority of the Maltese electorate. Finally the tv/radio station was sealed, thus the PN political message could no longer be reached to the Maltese listeners.
Or maybe this time Labour will deliver the promises of transparency and meritocracy and ‘Malta taghna llkoll’ is not just a gimmick.
Switchers must have hoped that the whole Labour party had fallen of their horse and converted. We know how that played out don’t we?
When Toni Abela and Wenzu Mintoff were much younger, they once stood up in parliament and spoke against the violence that was going on in the 80s. Everyone knows how they were treated by their own democratic party.
This person has no principles. He also has no pride! He is supposed to be the minister of the environment and does not even peep about what is happening to MEPA and outside development Zones. A despicable man.
