Referring to the editorial entitled First 100 Days As Labour Party Leader (September 13), it seems that the haze has not cleared but became even denser. Joseph Muscat 's demeanour since he became a member of the European Parliament made it oblivious to most that only five years ago he was a fully-fledged anti-EU exponent.

On September 7, during a gathering to which Lawrence Gonzi was present, David Casa MEP quite rightly and sensibly reminded those present that, in 2003, Dr Muscat was one of the architects that led Labour's campaign against Malta's entry into the EU. Mr Casa also invited those present to hold their breath just for a moment and imagine what Malta would be today outside the EU.

Only some months ago, Dr Muscat was also against Malta joining the eurozone.

What would happen to Malta should Dr Muscat as Prime Minister misjudge so wrongly Malta's future.

Surely those who opted to trust Dr Muscat failed to recall his very recent past.
