Konrad Mizzi might have been kicked out of the Labour Party but his legacy is still haunting Malta, and, more so the current Labour administration.
Just consider Mizzi’s Air Malta ‘miracle’. Last week, the recently appointed finance minister, Clyde Caruana, was quoted by Maltese-language weekly Illum that currently Air Malta is losing some €170,000 every day in operational losses.

Health Minister Chris Fearne has confirmed that government is paying €1.2 million per year to Steward Healthcare to make use of the Barts Medical School.
Responding to a parliamentary question, Fearne said that the infrastructural facilities and equipment, stipulated in the contract between government and the Queen Mary University of London, was built and funded by Steward Healthcare Malta.
However, the building is leased out to government for €1.2 million per year so that it can be used as a medical school.
