Is the government really this unbelievably stupid, or are they trying to create opportunities to provoke the need for the use of force against eventual protest crowds?

You can start counting his gaffes before the general election when he threatened PN secretary-general Paul Borg Olivier with prison.

On becoming a Minisister he requested the resignation of the Broadcasting Authority members, which he has no right to do as they are protected by the Constitution.

He announced the prisoners’ amnesty when he gathered them in the prison ground and celebrated with them, embracing the prisoners.

He was present at interviews for the Security Services (most shocking of all).

Having the Police Corps offer catering services to the delegates of the European Broadcasting Union is but the latest.
