They are too polite. Probably they will get a better response if they were a bit more persuasive with their words.

It’s on a roster. You can’t withdraw it.

In circumstances such as these, resignation from public office is not an act of courtesy or convention (because that is what is done in democratic countries). It is an absolute duty.

It is the principal function of a Prime Minister to protect and promote the interests of the country and the people he represents. If staying in office is causing serious harm to the interests of Malta and its people, then the Prime Minister should resign.

It is clear that the Prime Minister, simply by virtue of the fact that he is hanging on to his office, has caused and is causing serious and irreparable harm to Malta and its people. It is, therefore, clear that the Prime Minister should have resigned some time ago.

The question ‘where is the evidence?’ is not in the least relevant for the purposes of this argument. By staying in office, Joseph Muscat chose his own personal interests before the interests of the country and people he represents. There is no excuse whatsoever that could justify this breach of duty.

‘Trust we share a common objective of better fighting against tax evasion and money laundering’ – but of course they don’t.

The art of diplomacy – what a polite telling off that is.

Well if he decides to go, I think he should start with explaining how it all got started. Perhaps this video will help.

If the Prime Minister were innocent and had nothing to hide, he would be more than happy to appear before the PANA Committee to be able to clear his name. By not accepting he is simply admitting and proving his guilt.

This Mafia boss posing as Prime Minister besides all the corruption is also guilty of the character assassination not of one person but of the whole Maltese people including the fools who voted him into this position. Malta’s Presidency should be withdrawn without further delay.
