If he were truly livid, he would resign from the government and party. But wait, I forgot, this is Malta.

A bunch of crooks, the lot of them.

I am sorry. Let’s stop rationalising or apologising for these people.

If Vella were truly angered by the abuse of power, then he should do the right thing. He would speak out even at the risk of losing his post.

I don’t care whether Vella is livid. He could be as happy as a lark for all I care. His behaviour shows me that he is not doing his duty and that he is not sticking to Muscat’s own benchmarks, which were set simply to woo the electorate – meritocracy, honesty, transparency.

Vella’s behaviour indicates that he is also there for personal benefit. Otherwise he’d speak out.

I never mentioned conscience. I never mentioned envy either.

What exactly makes you think George Vella has a conscience when everyone else hasn’t?

George Vella is probably livid at having to deal with this blatant case of abuse and grand misuse of taxpayers’ money for the sole personal benefit of Konrad Mizzi, in which he had no say and still has no say.
