According to &quot;Salvu Today&quot;:

&quot;Scicluna also argued that the fiscal slippage suffered in the first months of 2013 had been due to the election period, where consumers took a step back from making purchases of a certain value - for example cars and property - as they waited for a new government to approve the budget.&quot;

And guess why the Nats had been begging Labour to vote for budget approval and them move a motion of no confidence? Thank you Joey and good luck getting out of your own shit, profs.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have fine and considered news for you, l-ahwa.

Our finance minister is doing his utmost to avoid the wrath of the Union&#039;s Excessive Deficit Procedure.  

He&#039;s been pleading for mercy with the Commission, assuring them he&#039;ll fix the &quot;fiscal slippage&quot;, but alas we have lost our noble overlords&#039; trust, he said, and there is only the PN to blame for telling the Commission a bunch of porkies.

Our shadow finance minister agreed: &quot;the highest probability is that the European Commission will place Malta under&quot; arrest and in tethers, if not in shackles.

But it is useless arguing with the Commission, the shadow warned. They want facts not promises. So if you&#039;re promising a year ahead, you are in your deeds a year too late. 

Tough! Better luck next time, as Enzo Guzman once sang before he even failed.

Our finance minister agreed. Although the 2013 slippage was just the effect of the &quot;election mode&quot; we were in, he said, the Commission doesn&#039;t give a shite about what mode we&#039;re in since the slave mode is the only EU mode.

Most certainly, the agreeable nature that developed between our finance minister and his shadow has sparked widespread joy across the Archi-Maltipelago.
