We have to ask why the Prime Minister is backing Konrad Mizzi for this election

So far, people who insist on believing that Konrad Mizzi’s and Keith Schembri’s Panama plots are a thing apart, and that the Prime Minister and Louis Grech are not in on it too, have repeatedly asked why the Prime Minister never kicked Mizzi out.

But what we should all be asking instead, those of us who think it is obvious that the Prime Minister is involved, and those who think that Mizzi and Schembri did it behind Muscat’s back but Muscat didn’t mind and loves them still, is why Muscat is backing Mizzi so strongly for the upcoming general election.

What Panama-company-populating plots have they hatched for the last five years of Muscat’s 15-year plan? Real-estate agents, builders and corrupt operators are getting excited already. The rest of us should be worried sick.
