Recently, Prime Minister Robert Abela went on a Podcast hosted by a DJ called Ricky Caruana, who is currently laundering the reputation of most of the Labour Party’s top criminals, including the disgraced ex-Premier Joseph Muscat. Surprisingly, in this podcast, the Prime Minister announced that he had dined with the disgraced Premier Joseph Muscat.
Ricky Caruana’s podcast has taken the form of a Labour Party counter-product to Malta’s latest podcasts by independent journalists by having Labour Party politicians and some of the worst elements of the Nationalist Party like John Dalli to give biographical and political monologues. Ricky Caruana has been the butt of all jokes for his ingratiating mediocrity, but some can see through his bullshit and know that he is wittingly and intentionally laundering the reputation of Labour politicians. He also has some very notable Labour-leaning sponsors.
One would understand why the Prime Minister would make this announcement on such a podcast: he wants to normalise this grave and highly corrupt act of meeting a previous Prime Minister who is currently facing possible lifetime in prison for the most serious and grave corruption accusations brought in a Maltese Court against a politician. This dinner has also taken place during a time when the Prime Minister is waging a legal war against the judiciary.
Joseph Muscat seems to have been appeased by Premier Abela and in fact made an appearance during a Labour Party marathon last December. Joseph Muscat was appeased by the Prime Minister last year by having Muscat’s allies, namely Alex Agius Saliba appointed to the Labour Party’s leadership. Supposedly, this will help the Labour Party recover its losses from the polls, but more probably, it should stop Joseph Muscat blackmail the Prime Minister with many things, including my story and investigation about his past money-laundering practices.
The Prime Minister admitted that their relationship is on and off, bemusing it with an analogy bout lovers in crisis. There is nothing amusing or normal about this. The Labour government is dismantling state institutions and the rule of law solely to ensure that Joseph Muscat and his associates remain unpunished for their gross crimes, while Labour MPs grow increasingly confident in their impunity for abusing power.
What’s even more gross is that Joseph Muscat’s previous best friend’s best friend, Yorgen Fenech, is now out of prison. The Prime Minister could have done the decent thing and supported reforms that would lead to justice for Daphne Caruana Galizia, instead he has spent his time protecting criminals and decapitating the justice system. This shouldn’t have been a partisan issue, but it has conveniently been turned as so by the Labour Party in its justification to protect the same political criminals whose friends are being accused in Corut of murdering a journalist.
The Labour Party is turning into a complete circus if no one confronts the Prime Minister about this dinner. He’s turning our democracy and our institutions into a joke.
