Yesterday, after Robert Abela gave his fraudulent press conference denouncing the judiciary for “holding him hostage” and announcing a public inquiry, he exited the palace from the front door assuming the crowd that was there in protest would greet him with applause.
It wasn’t the case, of course, and Robert Abela was pelted with bottles of water as the crowds insulted him and shouted “Mafia”. There never was a moment like this in Maltese history – no Maltese Prime Minister in our history has ever been in such a situation and none of them have ever been humiliated to this extent. And there was never in our history a Prime Minister so demonstrably hated.
The fool thought that having conducted his theatrical press conference, carefully scripted by his propagandists and consultants, he had done a “bravura”. Baldrick has a plan. After lying to the whole nation repeatedly on the magisterial inquiry on Jean-Paul Sofia aided with carefully constructed scripts, and attacked the judiciary in an unprecedented attack. Robert Abela left the palace thinking the people would believe he has some goodwill left.
The Labour Party remains cohesive as a political party and there are no signs of splits, but there is a significant awakening within the Labour Party of many members expressing the fact that they have had enough. My mobile is flooded with messages from Labour Party members and supporters and some are very unlikely sources – such as rent-seekers who would typically end up on this website for some rent-seeking or another. This is very telling. I appreciate your messages and keep them coming.
