Neville Gafa' has come to the defence of Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, writing on Facebook that there is an ongoing campaign, "orchestrated and coordinated by those who want power."

He described it as a dirty campaign against Prime Minister Joseph Muscat.

It is understood that Gafa' said this in reference to the recent scandal surrounding Malta's outgoing PM, regarding gifts he reportedly received from Yorgen Fenech.

Gafa' said that certain alliances have also sprouted with the aim of dirtying Muscat's reputation, and at the same time go on the attack to take the seat of power.

Gafa' said that "We also have some who have become more virgin than the Virgin Mary, and are promising to investigate everything that is being asked."

He said that everyone who raises their hands has something to smell.
