Or maybe, from yonder, far away from our shores, in Brussles?

Issa jmiss li wara dak l-insult min-naħa tal-figura fl-ogħla istituzzjoni, il-membri tal-PN jibbojkotjaw lill-president fl-attivitajiet li baqagħlu jagħmel sakemm eventwalment jgħib mix-xena fi ftit żmien ieħor.

Dan hu l-mod kif jafu jirringrazzjaw u japprezzaw is-soċjalisti. Diġa’ ibnu kien offiż għall-aħħar qabel l-elezzjoni, issa s-siġill għalqu missieru. Tal-mistħija – verament kapaċi jaqgħu fil-baxx dawn in-nies.

Bil-ħaqq, issa qed jidher ċar li min jinsa jerġa’ jġarrab.

He has several open bills with Lawrence Gonzi and he is the mentor of Joseph Muscat.

And the latter would have loved how his mentor sharpened the barbs.

In a sense this speech reveals the new old way of the PL. The speech could come from Joe Grima, and yes the speech could also come from one of the sick minds that bombarded the PN government from within.

The fact that Joseph Muscat allowed this speech to be given to the President could only mean that Malta taghna lkoll is dead.

Long live Old Labour. The main message is that with Labour the new dawn has reached Malta. Those over 40 know that very well. It is the blatant betrayal of 50000 voters who believed the national unity trash.

[Daphne – Definitely not. Alfred Sant is a literary writer.]

Except that there is no such thing as a “President Emeritus” in the Constitution of Malta. Dr Fenech Adami is, today, a retired statesman and a private citizen, and he is free to do whatever he pleases. Dr Abela, on the other hand, represents the State.

It’s a pity that in the particular role that he is vying for, he cannot print a new series of notes with Muscat’s face on it just like one of the predecessors did with Agatha Barbara.

His hands will be tied now, not unlike the eighties.

The question is whether he will use his future role’s discretion to invest the national reserves in UBS funds.

With his smile, Joseph Muscat was sucessful in attracting funds from non sophisticated villagers who put all their savings in UBS funds, not knowing the investment risk they incurred.

Yes.
