Karmenu Vella doesn’t think these are things to be ashamed of, If asked, he will insist this is what politics should be: A centralised pyramid leading down to the common citizen.

Keep in mind another proposal which Joseph explained, that they won’t waste investors’ time with projects deemed non-starters:

In other words ‘whatever it is you have in mind, we decide.’

Put this into perspective with Mepa’s remit and the autonomy of stakeholders within the MCESD, and it takes on Orwellian connotations.

I was surprised at such a compliment from one who was minister of tourism himself.

It would be so true to form if Karmenu and Grima were to be invited onto Hamilton’s ‘Bla Agenda’ along with Karmenu’s daughter in law Mirian Dalli and his own Sabrina.

Speculation about Joseph’s capability to rein them in is over. Institutionalised clan-building is taking place in broad daylight, a clear message to all of us.

This is Labour, and if Jason Micallef said it behind closed doors, Karmenu proclaims it by his actions, inviting us to subscribe.
