I’m sorry, what? Sometimes, I’m too logical for the affairs of the bizarre island of Malta. Apparently, Joe Giglio was Robert Abela’s best man during his wedding. I see. Really? How? And why?
Isn’t your best man supposed to be your best friend and long-time mate? Did Robert Abela really choose Joe Giglio as his best man for his wedding for political ends, or are they really best friends? By best friends, I mean your childhood or long-time friend with whom you built a meaningful relationship to the extent that you’re both as much as family to each other, and not your friend you met in business or politics.
Robert is so artificial and empty that it hurts.
Also, how is this actually good for the Nationalist Party that their spokesperson for interior affairs and justice is the friend of the Prime Minister? Joe Giglio was even a lawyer for Pilatus Bank and criticised its whistleblower in parliament, and this is just another reason why criminal lawyers can never be reliable politicians: their conflicts of interest.
The fight against organised crime and the mafia requires a militant stance, not courtesies of old friendships. How can the Nationalist Party present itself as a serious alternative when its spokesperson on one of Malta’s biggest problems has these conflicts of interest? It also sounds very strange that no one thought about these things in PN before appointing him to his current role.
