The story behind Kurt Farrugia’s departure from Malta Enterprise to Infrastructure Malta has more to do with Miriam Dalli’s faltering plans for her leadership ambitions than with an internal government reorganisation. Kurt Farrugia has enough influence to stay on with another top role with Miriam Dalli’s ministry, but he is leaving because Miriam Dalli no longer needs a Labour stalwart to lead her leadership campaign.
At one point in time, earlier during Robert Abela’s administration, Miriam Dalli even lead a rebel caucus in the cabinet and the Party, projecting herself as the ideal alternative to Robert Abela. After the electric-grid crisis, Miriam Dalli’s political reputation has taken a downfall and no one considers her as a serious contender to the Labour Party leadership.
Running for deputy-leader is a different story, but even this prospect is now hampered by her own reputation.
