Joseph Muscat fits in three-day Dubai break with family amid political crisis
MP publishes photo showing Muscats flying first-class to Dubai
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has flown on a holiday to Dubai in the company of his wife Michelle and children.
Deputy Prime Minister Chris Fearne is acting prime minister for the next three days, which means Muscat will resume his duties on the 30 December.
The Prime Minister has already visited the Vatican City and Bethlehem in the past weeks as damaging revelations continue to emerge on the closeness between Daphne Caruana Galizia murder suspect Yorgen Fenech, the prime minister's former chief of staff Keith Schembri and Muscat.
Muscat was seen on Thursday afternoon at the VIP lounge of Malta International Airport.
Meanwhile, Nationalist Party MP Jason Azzopardi has published on his Facebook page a photo, presumably taken today on board the plane, showing the Muscats flying first-class to Dubai.
Azzopardi noted that first-class seats, which afford more privacy, are even more expensive than business class.
