Never met the guy, but really what the f*** does this man know about Freeport. The criteria for choosing people to posts must surely be based on some form of meritocracy. Apart from being a Labour follower, can anyone inform me what does Aaron Farrugia know about the commercial aspect of freeports. I'm waiting! This is what MaltaToday reported.
Former chairman of Labour’s think-tank appointed Freeport CEO
MaltaToday is informed that his appointment will be made official in the coming days.Aaron Farrugia, former chairman of Labour’s think-tank ‘Fondazzjoni Ideat’ is set to be appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Malta Freeport Corporation.
After the change in the party’s leadership in 2008, Farrugia was chosen to serve in the Labour Party’s central administration in the role of education secretary.
Aaron Farrugia was appointed secretary of Labour’s electoral manifesto in 2012, resigning from Fondazzjoni Ideat chairperson in the process but keeping his seat on the national executive.
33-year-old Farrugia also served as President of the Labour Youth Forum for six years, and was elected deputy mayor of Ta’ Xbiex between 2005 and 2008.
He worked as a policy advisor and coordinator for the Maltese delegation in the Committee of the Regions. Previously, he managed EU Funds at the Ministry for Health and Social Policy.
During the US electoral campaign, Farrugia was chosen as “young political leader” by the US embassy, where he was invited to follow the elections in the USA. The honour was previously awarded to Dom Mintoff, Ugo Mifsud Bonnici, Eddie Fenech Adami and Lawrence Gonzi.
