Jesmond Mugliett? Labour CANNOT be serious
The Labour Party has sought and obtained from Jesmond Mugliett a testimonial for their electric project. Now he is in the Labour media, saying that he thinks the project to be “innovative” and “achievable”.
Indeed. Oh, the irony.
It took that Jesmond, when he was minister responsible for roads, EIGHTEEN MONTHS to fix a bridge on a main thoroughfare, disrupting traffic – including the heavy weekend traffic to and from Paceville, for that entire period.
And he did so amid political controversy, prolonged delays, hysterical reporting about scandalous corruption on Super One, budget over-runs, accusations that he involved his practice partner, and allegations of certification fraud.
He was Labour’s favourite target at the time, as I recall.
Eighteen months to FIX, not build, a short bridge – if Joseph Muscat thinks he is so fabulous, maybe he should get him to make sure his power station and all anciliary infrastructure are constructed and commissioned in two years.
This circus is turning into a farce. Here’s what Labour thought of Jesmond Mugliett five years ago:

Jesmond Mugliett has to explain what he meant by achievable.
If he means building a gas driven power station, it can be done.
If he means the whole project to reduce the electricity tariffs, we should turn to Jesmond to start question him about the unanswered questions.
Is he ready to do it?

Did he finish the scholarship?
This is only one of the problems Lawrence Gonzi had to put up with. What are the reasons behind Mugliett’s eventual stance vis-a-vis his party leader?
Brava Daphne. Exactly what I thought. He, of all people?
And more importantly Lawrence Gonzi supported him throughout all this. And what does the latter get in return? While it takes a long while to gain people’s confidence, you will lose it very quickly.
By the way, why aren’t the Nationalist speakers referring to the opposition as the Partit Socjalista?
Why are they letting them get away with the idea that this is a new moviment?
These are the same socjalisti who are ashamed of their past. They are even ashamed to show their faces (a) by hiding their people from the past, and (b) even hiding the facade of their headquarters behind some boards.
And you think it will have any effect. I think you are epitomising the over-confidence and over-reliance the PN had on its media, rhetorical skills and propoganda. Most of the time it worked, but not this time apparently. Most people are tired of it.
If the Cyprus credibility argument, one of the strongest the PN had, did not work by now, do you think that this will work ?
The democratic world is full of Socialist Parties to begin with, and in no way the voters of today will equate this Labour Party with the one of the past, even if few faces are still around.
If people in some ex-communist countries sometimes still elect MPs from the communist regime era, and they function and abide by democratic rules, do you think that you are going to impress by throwing Alex Sciberras Trigona or Karmenu Vella?
So far, nothing worked.
“. ex-communist countries sometimes still elect MPs from the communist regime era..”
Democracy takes time to take hold and the process is slow. Besides people had been so used to the ‘former Communist comrades, that they think that electing them in a new ‘democratic’ system is quite all-right since the rules changed.
Oh God. Joseph is being dramatic. He is not going to have anybody dying from cancer or suffer from asthma on his watch.
Dan bis-serjeta’?
Natural gas is a hydrocarbon fuel and it emits CO2 when it is burnt.
It is cleaner than fuel oil (it emits 73% of the CO2 emitted the fuel oil,) but it still contaminates the environment.
So building another power station in Delimara is not going to contribute much to improve air quality in Birzebbugia.
It seems that there is some Maltese brotherhood/secret network working in favour of Muscat.
PN does not approve of Freemasonry and one cannot be a PN member while being a Freemason.
Evarist Bartolo should be brought in to investigate the Labour power station proposal.
Maybe he can tell us if there is any hint of connections with the Freemasonry.
They are referring to them as the Malta Labour Party and not Partit Laburista.
“2007, Konnessjonijiet Sant & Mugliett.” – the video.
2013, Konnessjonijiet Muscat & Mugliett?
Jesmug smells contracts.
A spiteful opportunist. I’m not surprised at all.
This is getting ludicrous. Labour are now listing individuals, on Malta Star, who are backing their plan for their new power station
One assumes that the ‘PN and their cronies’ are the rest of the population, institutions and industry not listed on their ‘in favour list’.
Malta Star
In favour:
Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association
Malta Employers Associations
Malta Developers Association
GWU
UHM
FORUM Unions Maltin
Marco Cremona (hydrologist)
Burmarrad Commercials
Golden Harvest
Edward Mallia (University lecturer)
Reginald Fava (entrepreneur and former president of the Malta Chamber of Commerce)
Jesmond Mugliett (former PN MP and Minister)
Patrick Zahra (pediatrician)
Against:
PN (and its cronies)
Now watch those on their ‘in favour’ list disappear over the coming weeks.
Lies! Edward Mallia is not in favour.
Yip you’re right and he’s not the only one on that list who’s not in favour which is why I said some will be vanishing from it over the coming weeks
Marco Cremona isn’t either, albeit on a tightrope.
He more or less repeated AD’s position.
They forgot “Ghaqda Kaccaturi Nassaba u Konservazzjonisti ta’ Burmarrad” on the “in favour” list.
Ah, but they haven’t listed there those businesses which have shown major interest in the project, as stated by Joseph Muscat in his public speeches or to the media.
Why are they hiding them?
A year ago Mugliette was in favour of Sargas

Another viper which we got rid off a little bit too late I suppose.
When Jesmond Mugliett’s pet project – the Regional Road Bridge – started being implemented, the civil engineering consultants discovered that the pylons constructed in the early 60s by the Taiwanese (or South Koreans?) were so tough and resistemt that special machinery had to be brought over at extra cost to cut through and demolish.
In fact they commented that the bridge did not need to be completely reconstructed but required maintenance at certain points. But the percentage on a total reconstruction project is so much higher than on an extended maintenance contract.
