MALTA'S EMBATTLED PRIME MINISTER CALLS AN EARLY ELECTION, FEARING THAT THE SPECIAL WITNESS TO BE CALLED IN THE DAPHNE ASSASSINATION TRIAL WILL DRIVE LABOUR FROM POWER

Witness 4 by ALEX CEPPI www.alexceppi.com

ROBERT ABELA, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Malta, will reportedly soon call for a national election, one year early, due to his concerns about blistering witness testimony, expected at the upcoming trial of Daphne Caruana Galizia assassination defendant YORGEN FENECH, which could drive the sitting Malta Labour Party for office, if the election were to be held at the normal scheduled date in 2027. An individual scheduled to testify, having first-hand knowledge, who has been dubbed the Special Witness by the media, is expected to implicate a number of senior Labour Party leaders in the fatal terrorist bombing of the country's premier investigative journalist, including Prime Minister JOSEPH MUSCAT, who resigned in disgrace in 2020. We are aware of the identity of the Special Witness, but believe that to disclose that information, ahead of trial testimony, would not be in the best interests of justice, and may violate Maltese law.

Longtime readers of my Malta news coverage know that I have sources within the Labour Party unhappy with Abela's lack of leadership, and his complete lack of decision-making skills. As we have repeatedly reported, he routinely relies upon his father, former Maltese president GEORGE ABELA, with whom he frequently consults with, to make the hard decisions, and who truly runs the show in the OPM.

Our information is that PM ABELA will publicly announce the early election on May 1, during local festivities, with the election date to be set for June 11, due to the five week delay required by the Constitution. Whether JOSEPH MUSCAT will be indicted, as the direct result of the forthcoming testimony of the Special Witness, or instead be forced to flee into exile, with his wife, MICHELLE MUSCAT, we cannot say, but we will be paying close attention to the news of the Fenech trial testimony.
