Josie Muscat (born 31 July 1943) is a Maltese politician, a former Nationalist MP (1966–87), an independent local councillor in Marsascala (2006–09) and co-founder of Azzjoni Nazzjonali (AN) [1] (2007).
The grouping was a form of resistance action against Labour's authoritarian elements but its members were seen by many as sympathisers of European fascism.
After 1987 he took a hiatus from political life and made a name for himself in the medical sector, setting up St James Capua Hospital.
After the general elections of 2008, Josie Muscat resigned as leader of Azzjoni Nazzjonali after he and his party failed to win any seats.
In a surprise move, the PN approved his candidature on the second district, a Labour Party stronghold.
