"Labour deputy leader Anglu Farrugia stepped down as deputy leader for party affairs, following his comments that Magistrate Audrey Demicoli acted with political bias." (The Malta Independent - 20 December 2012)
That was the headline all over the country when Joseph Muscat forced Anglu Farrugia to resign just before the last general election. Here's a video clip of that press conference:
"Fid-dawl ta' dikjarazzjonijiet li għamel Dr Farrugia rigward membru tal-ġudikatura...hija l-fehma tiegħi li dikjarazzjonijiet simili mhumiex flokhom għax jimminaw kolonna importanti tad-demokrazija ta' pajjiżna. Fit-tmiem tad-diskussjoni tlabt lil Dr Farrugia jerfa' r-responsabbilita' ta' dik id-dikjarazzjoni u jissottometti r-riżenja tiegħu minn Deputat Mexxej għall-Affarijiet tal-Parlament."
("In the light of declarations made by Dr Farrugia with regards to a member of the Judiciary...it is my opinion that such declarations are not in place because they threaten an important pillar of our democracy. At the end of the discussion, I asked Dr Farrugia to assume responsibility for those declarations and submit his resignation from Deputy Leader for Parliamentary Affairs")
Now going by the same measuring stick, we are all waiting for Joseph Muscat himself to resign following his comments last Friday in which he alluded that the Attorney General, the police force, and Mr Justice Michael Mallia colluded into persecuting Cyrus Engerer, the heroic soldier of steel who is not afraid to steal himself into people's homes, copy their private photos, and use them to tarnish and threaten them.
