She should take lessons in proper Maltese pronunciation. The espresso can be added later.

Is it not only the government who can organise ‘national’ conferences? The way the leader of the opposition is going on one would think he is the prime minister.

A double expresso for Astrid, please, Mr Waiter!

Thank you Gerald. I am confident that this time the Authorities will take public opinion into account – with the Malta Today poll showing that 83% of the population is against the project to build a parliament house on the Opera House site, there is no doubting the wishes of the majority of the electorate. I am sure that an FAA campaign will not be necessary especially in the light of the fact that Renzo Piano has already indicated that two sites are to be built, both the Opera theatre ruins, and Freedom Square, which of course gives the possibility to accommodate both buildings. As with most projects, with a bit of goodwill, a solution can be found.

“I look forward to a campaign on the City Gate/Opera House project to bring everyone to their senses again. You might just pull it off!” Talk about pre-judging an issue! No project proposals have yet been published and already Mr. Fenech is ‘looking forward to a campaign!” It is so sad to see public projects become simply political footballs with crusades being launched to see if one can “pull it off.” Our country deserves better!

“I look forward to a campaign on the City Gate/Opera House project to bring everyone to their senses again. You might just pull it off!”. Pray explain what the problem with the City Gate/opera House project is? Do you have access to information the rest of the country does not? How can you judge the project if it has not been proposed other than some ideas? This is precisely what the problem with this country is. As the Chairman of the FAA wrote in a letter to this newspaper “We cannot rely on well-meaning but non-professional people anymore.”

Gerald Fenech (on 24/2/09)
All I can say at this stage is keep it going Astrid and FAA! Don’t let the politically motivated and character assassinating hate mongering mob deflect you from your noble task. I look forward to a campaign on the City Gate/Opera House project to bring everyone to their senses again. You might just pull it off!
