Muscat is not a hypocrite. He is amoral. The sooner people understand what that means, the better.

People’s forma mentis in Malta tends to be circumscribed by a language with limited vocabulary, leaving them with very few ways of describing people, and it follows, an impaired ability to assess them.

Hypocrites distinguish between right and wrong and have boundaries. Amoral people do not.

But now Muscat sees no problem with a senior minister and his chief of staff setting up companies in Panama and trusts in New Zealand. Muscat’s hypocrisy is unbelievable.

“The list of persons holding accounts with HSBC in Geneva has been given to the Maltese government by France. …… Dr. Muscat had requested the names of anyone on the list having political connections, and the names will be published once he gets them and verifications are made, again in terms of the law.

“He said he had made enquiries within the Labour parliamentary group and with party officials and no one said he was involved. ……. Dr Muscat said he had instructed the Commissioner of Inland Revenue to investigate the data immediately and to give the dossiers ‘absolute priority.” (9/3/2015)
