Did you notice this?
Inspecting soldiers one minute and hugging criminals at a party in the prison yard the next minute. All together now: Malta Taghna Lkoll.
When the Ministry of Justice, the Police, the Army and Broadcasting (National Security) announced the removal of the statute of limitations on crimes of corruption involving politicians, it was Manuel Mallia’s office bridesmaid, PS for Justice Owen Bonnici, who fronted it in a press conference with the prime minister at the Palace.
But when the same Ministry announced an amnesty for prisoners, it was Manuel Mallia who fronted it – not with a proper press conference but with a party, gathering, music and red bunting, in the prison yard.
Work out why. It’s not pretty.

Some kind of pre-electoral agreement?
Of course the Hon. Minister and past staunch defender of the criminal underworld in its encounters with the law inside the Law Court would feel the need to attend personally for “Auld Lang Syne”:
“Should Old Acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind? …
Heaven forbid!
It’s not just (convicted) criminals. Tagħna Lkoll is also the name of an app to bypass the Times of Malta paywall. The battle cry of the ‘entitled’.
The battle cry of the ‘entitled’? You missed the point.
The Minister for Justice the Army the Police Broadcasting and National Security was nowhere to be seen here either.

Couldn’t he gather the judiciary and the lawyers in Pjazza San Gorg (next to the fountain where his nanny fills her jerry cans with water) and organise a party there while he kisses and hugs everyone to the blaring of Malta Tana Lkoll?
The justice minister in league with the criminals, his former clients. Amnesty for votes.
Nice. Bloody awesome.
Did anybody say “conflict of interest”? Hello?
I’d say we’re officially relegated to third-world country status at this point.
Mid-dehra hemm ħafna ħabsin Laburisti.
The removal of the statute of limitations on crimes of corruption involving politicians is Manuel Mallia’s baby.
People who know the Minister will surely tell you that finally his ego has been satisfied, that he is a person who expects flattery and the ‘baxxi rasek’ attitude, and also to appear and take credit when it suits him most. I think the photo pretty much sums up his ego for grandeur.
Poor suit…..
Il-mahfra taghna lkoll. Ejjew nergghu nisirqu. Hekk jew hekk Mallia gewwa jew barra ser jaqbez ghalina.
Jekk ma jirbhilomx il-kawza fil-qorti, xorta johroghom mill-habs bl-amnestija !
309 se jgawdu mill-mitt jum amnestija.
Tal-misthija!
Iz-zmien ghad irrid jurina jekk dawn il-prigunieri li ser jiehdu l-amnestija qabdux t-triq it-tajba. Jekk ikun hawn rata gholja ta’ kazi ta’ kriminalita ghallura nghid li Manwel Mallia ghamel l-ikbar froga ta’ hajtu u li jrid iwiegeb ghalija.
Ma tantx qed nara futur sabih ghall Malta.
