Muscat, Mizzi, Schembri giving the worst example - Busuttil

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, Minister Konrad Mizzi and chief of staff Keith Schembri were giving the worst example to Maltese workers, Opposition leader Simon Busuttil said today.  What is happening to the country in the wake of the Panama Papers scandal is a huge blow to our dignity, Dr Busuttil said.  The PN leader was speaking during a conference in connection with Workers' Day. He said that the latest Cabinet reshuffle, which left Dr Mizzi occupying the post of minister despite the Panama Papers scandal, was an offence to the public's dignity and intelligence. "Prime Minister Joseph Muscat confirmed it's fine to have minister open a company in Panama days after being elected into power. He gave his blessing and tried to pretend as though nothing happened." Dr Busuttil said the economy should serve the people and warned that the take-home pay of around 78,000 workers has decreased in the past three years. "The difference between the PN and the PL is clear; while the PL wants a strong economy, the PN wants an economy that serves the people."
