Hot Jose Herrera news from the DOI
No wonder Jose Herrera is on the war-path and looks so depressed in this photograph. There he was, taking it for granted that he would be made Minister of Justice and already negotiating with judges, as far back as two years ago, for an increase in their salary, and he ends up PS for Kulcherrr, dealing with the L-Iklin Festival tal-Fjuri.
From the DOI, last Saturday:

Depression – or a hangover.
I am almost sorry for him. He was well and truly screwed by his master.
And what is Beppe doing there ? He looks just as happy…
I really don’t know why you lot insist on lambasting him. Just look at the panache and style with which he carries himself, even in this photo. Esquire would kill to have him on their front cover.
Panache? Looks more like toothache to me.
As most of you know, after suffering a trauma or loss, the five stages a normal person goes through are:
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance.
Seems like Jose is at stage 4, so on the face of it he’s progressing well.
Is there an optional 5(b) Resignation?
X’entuzjazmu. X’kien qed jghidilhom biex kollha b’wicchom imqarras?
Sew qed tghid : hu mdejjaq b’xogholu u l-ohrajn imdejqin bih.
Festa tal-fjuri mill-Kunsill Lokali tal-Iklin. Mhux ahjar fiera tal-kmamar tal-banju?
It looks as though they are announcing a world apocalypse of floral life. What a miserable bunch.
Jose Herrera says it with flowers.
Bil-qarsu. Maghrufa wkoll bhala l-haxixa tal-Ingliza. Jason Micallef jifhem f’dawn l-affarijiet.
Do we really need a PS on Culture to launch a ‘Festival tal-Fjuri?
Jose Herrera, Ministru tal-Flower Arrangements. X’waqa down.
Don’t really care about how Muscat ridiculed Herrera with this appointment. I’m more annoyed with how Muscat ridiculed culture.
Perhaps his children could get him a tie for Father’s Day?
Surely his appointment to a “floral” position is intentional. I suppose Muscat is waiting for Jose to blow his top and resign soon.
They all look pretty grim to me.
They ALL look very glum indeed.
They all look glum as, quoting Profs. Oliver Friggieri, Fil-Parlament ma Jikbrux Fjuri.
I laughed out loud when I saw this photo. What is wrong with these people? They look hypnotised.
They are not hypnotised. They are stunned into disbelief at the promised “change” that turns out to be a widespread change for the worse affecting almost the whole of “Malta Taghna ‘Lkoll” with some notable exceptions for the select few.
All they need is a rosary in their hands.
“Huwa fahhar lill-Kunsill Lokali ghax-xoghol li qed jaghmel biex izomm haj uhud mit-tradizzjonijiet ta’ dan ir-rahal”.
Xi tradizzjonijiet? The first house at Iklin was built in 1954 and there was no other building until 1969 when villas began sprouting all over. And I got that information from the council’s own website.
X’breakdown, miskin.
But what are you saying that he should’ve been made Minister of Justice.
[Daphne – Oh, definitely not. Only that he expected it by right.]
I can’t stop laughing – this photo and the one in the next blog post are hilarious! “The looks on the faces of these people are enough to send the economy into recession” Allow me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Festival tal-Fjuri. And they look as though they’re sitting on cacti.
There’s something about a man in a jacket and shirt but without a tie that just seems wrong
OMG, he looks so glum.
The picture just cries out for a photo caption competition.
A bored meeting.
Mistghagbin xi pjacir kien hemm.

The above is also a festa tal-fjuri, taking place just a few hundred kilometers away from Malta.
