In reply to malteser. English translation? There are major clues that it was written in English and translated into Maltese, starting with the heading 'embracing diversity' and 'barriers' translated as 'quarries' (barrieri).

In reply to Etienne Caruana. Ghax as such mhemmx kelma Maltija ghal "barrier". Fuq dal-punt, u fuq dal-punt biss, ghandhom is-support tieghi.

In reply to Jozef.

What are the chances that it was written by Marisa Micallef (Leyson), who probably thinks in English and tried (and failed) to translate it into Maltese? (“Ihott il-barrieri” – Drop all barriers? Remove all boundaries?).

The use of non Semitic Maltese is not a coincidence. The PL is embracing European roots and distancing itself from Gaddafi.

One News irrapporta illi l-mexxej qal li il-moviment tieghu irid ihott il-barrieri.

X’hemm xi thott f’barriera?

I can still remember “Dawk mhux parti mil familja taghna!” spoken by Justine Caruana, referring to anyone who votes PN.

Jabbraċċa, nirriskopru, jixdhu, migemgha. Pidgin, neologism, misspelling, casual omittance of special characters which are in use in the same sentence.

With such proponents, no wonder Maltese is in such a mess. I’d love to read Coconut’s English translation of this, just for the record.

“Dr Muscat qal li din iċ-ċelebrazzjoni kienet l-ewwel tax-xorta tagħha għal partit politiku u li jistenna li se jkun hemm kritika għal din l-inizjattiva.”

In my opinion this sentence alone captures everything that is wrong with Joseph Muscat’s way of thinking.
