Joseph Muscat Addresses Recent Influx Of Foreign Workers

May 10 2024

During yesterday’s exclusive interview on F Living Channel, Joseph Muscat addressed the recent worry some Maltese have had of an influx of foreign workers.

The former Prime Minister stated that in contrast to popular belief, the alleged economic growth is not due to the influx of foreign workers but rather the influx of foreign workers is due to the economic growth and the availabilities of jobs.

He also stated that in the times of covid when there weren’t a lot of public jobs available, these foreigners all left. He revealed that these foreign workers are only here for work purposes not because they took a liking to Malta.

The interview Joseph Muscat has had on F Living has gone semi viral in Malta, with the recently accused and charged former Prime Minister affirming his innocence and even saying “Today I am nothing, but if I were found guilty of one of these claims, I can go to prison for 18 years. I say, if it were like this, if it were discovered that I actually took 18 million or one of these things they are saying, I deserve life in prison, not 18 years. ”
