On February 7, former prime minister Joseph Muscat and former opposition leader Adrian Delia were tied together on the same page of a local news website. Both were denying and defying reality, again. Muscat was desperately trying to convince that it is absolutely normal for the prime minister of an EU state to introduce a suspected money-launderer and alleged murder-mastermind to the deputy chairman of an international bank. He insisted it’s normal for a prime minister to advise a serious financial crime and murder suspect to retain shareholding of a major project. He hysterically maintained it’s normal for the prime minister to openly discuss with a suspected criminal his business dealings with a potential investor. He forced us to accept that brokering meetings and possible deals between suspected launderer-murderers and international bank officials is a prime minister’s role.
