JOSEPH MUSCAT'S HOPES FOR TOP EU JOB DASHED
Muscat had been on one
of two fi nal lists outlining
who should be nominated
for the EU's top jobs
HERE TO
STAY
KURT SANSONE
JOSEPH Muscat will
have no rush to leave
his job in Castille after
his hopes for a top EU
job were dashed on the
third day of protracted
negotiations in Brussels.
The Prime Minister harboured
the ambition to become the
next president of the European
Council instead of Donald Tusk
and made it to one of two final
lists.
European leaders eventually
coalesced around the second
option pushed by Germany.
Sources close to the Prime
Minister told MaltaToday the
development means that Mus-
cat has no deadline on his head,
if he still opts to step down.
"Had he been nominated
council president he would have
had to leave by October. Joseph
[Muscat] is now not bound by
any date and may stay on until
the next general elec-
tion," the sources
said.
