The wife and the chief rescuer, both women, have been squeezed out of the picture. Their discounting of Marisa Farrugia comes from the same backwoods mentality as their discounting of the fact that, in a situation like this, Martin Galea’s wife should take priority and not them. They literally squash her out and ignore her. It’s not as though we don’t know why they were there, and it wasn’t because they haven’t slept for 11 nights or eaten for 11 days thinking they’d never see him again.Īnd look at the way the politicians turn their back on Marisa Farrugia, who did all that work in Tripoli to save Martin when the useless ambassador did a runner (not that he’d have been much help if he’d stayed, given that he’s a politically appointed architect who isn’t particularly smart, and not a seasoned diplomat). They probably think it makes them look really good – but actually, it makes them look really selfish and tactless. The Malta Independent has got this video footage of Martin Galea coming down off the plane with “the woman who saved his life”, consul Marisa Farrugia, to be greeted not by his wife and family but by an army of scene-stealing cabinet ministers, aides and hangers-on, and the press.Īfter 11 days in which he had no idea whether he would ever see his wife again, or she him, or other members of his family, he steps off the plane and straight into welcoming party of politicians who then proceed to tastelessly delay even further his return to those he loves, and who love him, with their craving for personal publicity and votes.
