Joseph Muscat Opens In New Cam Camille Interview
People need to get used to the fact that politicians, like everyone else, are also wrong, said former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat in a new and sincere interview with the name of the house and Maltese influencer Ben Camille.
“Something we all need to get used to in all walks of life is getting everyone wrong,” Muscat said in Ben Have A Seat’s new online show.
“I really did not like the whole concept of a politician, or someone else, who can never go wrong. I made too many mistakes to mention, everyday things, not news stories. “
He said he was particularly disappointed that he had forced some people to resign and that these decisions had hit him hard on a personal level.
“I have already said publicly that there have been cases where I have told someone to resign and now I believe it was a mistake. On the contrary, I had to tell some people to resign and I didn’t. “
Although in this interview he did not further delve into the topic, Muscat he said last year he regretted forcing Manuel Mallia and Michael Falzon to resign as ministers and did not take action against his chief of staff Keith Schembri and former minister Konrad Mizzi.
Muscat spent six years as Malta’s Prime Minister before resigning in 2019 following a political crisis sparked by the arrest of Yorgen Fenech for the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.

His interview with Ben Camille largely deviated from the politics and murder of Caruana Galizia, and focused more on his past as a “not cool” young man, his previous struggle with obesity. clinic and his family life.
However, he provided some insight into Muscat’s way of thinking during his tenure in office, including his insight into how he mastered public speaking skills.
“It’s not about lowering the level of the people (it goes down to the level of the people) … that phrase really escaped me … but to stay at their level, ”he said.
“Some people think they have to use big words to impress people with their intelligence, but then people don’t understand what they were actually saying.”
“My grandmother was a working mother and had a relatively low level of formal education, but she was very smart and I learned a lot from her. I always kept that in mind and asked myself when I was talking about whether grandma understood what I was saying. I believe that people want this humanity. “
The former Prime Minister also continued to increase the way he took to social media, after stating during Times of Malta interview that politicians should pay less attention to social media and more attention to the people.
“When you want an argument with a person, don’t get involved with an avatar but with a person,” he said in his new interview. “I often compare involvement with a social media profile to engaging with someone through a letter. It’s not necessarily what that person thinks, it’s what that person wants to think. “
“It simply came to our notice then clubs when I was starting out in politics and people there were saying a lot of things about what they were doing [in your position]… I heard all the Hercules of the world come down to fight. ”
“However, when you talk to the same people one on one in a more relaxed environment, they tell you that they realized they said something stupid at the time.”
“I believe that nowadays it has become practically a luxury, which is bad, and that people simply engage with each other online. I think the internet should be just an introduction and the real commitment should be face to face. “
