Disgraced and discredited Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has repeatedly told us that he has paid “the highest price possible”.
I am not sure what he means by that. To my knowledge, he hasn’t paid a price for his actions (and lack of action) – yet.
He can never pay the “highest price possible”. So far only one person has paid a price, and it will always remain the “highest price possible” – a life senselessly and savagely snuffed out.
As Prime Minister, he had the duty to protect Daphne Caruana Galizia.
Instead he and his minions dehumanised and demonised her, making her fair game for violent elements within the Labour Party and for criminals.
The alleged mastermind (or one of the masterminds) of Daphne Caruana Galizia’s assassination – Yorgen Fenech – was an intimate friend of Muscat.
Muscat even invited Fenech to an intimate, wild birthday party he held at Girgenti which was so exclusive that not even the ministers in his cabinet were invited. The two were that close.
Fenech also gifted Muscat with wines costing thousands of euros as well as a Bvlgari watch costing some €17,000. The two were that intimate.
The other person allegedly highly involved in the assassination calls Muscat his best friend. Keith Schembri was Muscat’s closest collaborator, his chief of staff. He was certainly involved in the corruption that ultimately led to Daphne Caruana Galizia’s assassination. And Muscat could have stopped that corruption years ago; he knew all about it.
So if Muscat is trying to elicit sympathy or playing the empathy card by playing the martyr, he can go stuff himself. He could have prevented Daphne Caruana Galizia’s death.
Instead he now has her blood on his hands. That will be his legacy, along with the title of “2019 MAN OF THE YEAR IN ORGANIZED CRIME AND CORRUPTION”.

May be or maybe not happen. The election to replace Muscat cannot reach a consensus to appoint a new premier. So, in such an event he survives to another date to establish what? An effort to gain more time to work out a strategy in defense to reach a longer time required for an early election. The movements in silence, pointing out to that direction. Some words being said are too funny to be true.

The election of a new leader will not change anything. For change there needs to be the courage and the will to weed out everything that has bought us to this point.
