Muscat is not directly implicated in the murder case but announced his resignation last month after testimony by the self-confessed middleman in the murder plot linked people in Muscat’s inner circle to attempts at an alleged cover-up.“Malta is not going through any tragedy, but it is going through a sensitive time from which it will emerge stronger,” Abela told hundreds of cheering supporters at a party event held in a packed sports pavilion.
Abela, 42, a lawyer specialising in labour and industrial law, is a political newcomer, having been first elected to Malta’s parliament in 2017. Muscat appointed him a consultant, enabling him to attend Cabinet meetings.“We will continue to work with continuity and stability. We will keep the formula which has given us electoral victories and economic growth, while changing what needs to be changed,” he said.His priority, he said, would be social justice.
LOL, good luck with that...
