In the last few hours, we’ve learned that, with effect from 11 August, President Myriam Spiteri Debono has accepted the resignation of Magistrate Ian Farrugia.
Farrugia, appointed in 2012, is leaving the bench for “personal reasons.” That’s the official line. But let’s be clear — the real reason is being buried fast by the establishment, desperate to cover up the truth.
We know why Ian Farrugia had to resign. We’re not publishing the details today — not because we can’t, but because we are not like some of his family members. Unlike them, we don’t stalk, smear, and persecute people for political sport.
And yet, here is the burning hypocrisy: certain relatives of Ian Farrugia have spent years vomiting bile on social media against the Labour Government and, above all, against former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat. They have painted themselves as “defenders of truth,” but in reality they are nothing more than green-blooded PN fanatics, foaming at the mouth every time Muscat’s name is mentioned.
These are the same people who have made a hobby of spreading lies, twisting facts, and celebrating any misfortune that happens to Labour politicians or supporters. The same people who think that insulting, mocking, and destroying reputations is acceptable — as long as the victim wears a red jersey.
But now, the scandal has touched their own household. And suddenly, their Facebook feeds are silent. The endless venom has dried up. The fake moral superiority has crumbled. Because this time, the headline isn’t about Joseph Muscat. This time, it’s about them.
Ian Farrugia deserves to move on with his life without the kind of persecution his own family has inflicted on others. But his green relatives? They need to taste their own medicine. They need to know exactly what it feels like when the target is not Muscat, not Abela, not Labour — but their own flesh and blood.
To those relatives: take a long, hard look at yourselves. Your political hatred has rotted you from the inside out. And now, your own hypocrisy has been exposed for the whole country to see.
