Opposition Leader Alex Borg has questioned former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat’s decision to call a press conference in the immediate aftermath of the jury verdict, arguing that the situation risks leaving people wondering “who the Prime Minister is”.Speaking during an exclusive interview with Lovin Malta, Borg was pressed on what exactly he was suggesting about Muscat’s continued political influence, and whether he believed the former Labour leader was still “in control”.“All of this raises questions. Why? Was all of this happening inside Castille?” Borg said, referring to questions surrounding Castille which emerged in connection with the case.“Ultimately, I think these are questions that the people out there need clear answers to.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lovin Malta (@lovinmalta)Borg then turned towards Muscat’s decision to announce a press conference following the jury verdict, saying the move itself had raised further questions.He noted that Muscat had publicly announced his press conference before Prime Minister Robert Abela had spoken following the verdict.This prompted Borg to quip that the situation created enough confusion that “you can’t even tell who the current Prime Minister is”.When challenged on what exactly he meant, Borg pointed back towards the unusual sight of a former prime minister taking such a prominent public role.“I don’t see other former prime ministers holding press conferences like this,” he said. “Ultimately, his term is supposed to be over.”He was then asked directly whether he was suggesting that Muscat remained in control.“I don’t know,” Borg replied.“A lot of doubts have been raised. I’m not the one asking these questions; the people out there are. They’re getting confused.”Borg also linked his questions surrounding Muscat to the broader questions he said remain unanswered about Castille.He argued that there had long been questions about “what used to happen at Castille” during Muscat’s time as Prime Minister and said the public deserved answers.“Ultimately, there were many questions about what used to happen at Castille,” he said. “These are things that people ultimately expect answers to.”And when challenged once again over his comment that people could struggle to tell who the Prime Minister was, Borg clarified that he obviously knew who currently occupied the role.“We know who the Prime Minister is,” he said.“What I’m saying is that, ultimately, I’m speaking on behalf of the people here.”What do you make of Borg’s comments?•
