Sickeningly stupid and ignorant: the head of state is confused, and thinks she’s actually the First Lady

When did the head of state become Malta’s head fundraiser? The Community Chest Fund was never anything but the traditional charity occupation for the Governor’s wife and, after that, for the President’s wife who kept the tradition going.

Mrs Preca should leave the Community Chest Fund to her husband, whose pastime it is meant to be – a little something to keep a bored spouse out of trouble when the day’s instructions have been given to the butler and housekeeper – and stick to her proper role of head of state, for which she is majorly unfit, which is why she retreats into her comfort-zone of throwing pennies at the poor.
