What is the construction wheeler-dealer Sandro Chetcuti doing on this Labour Party committee to erect a monument to Dom Mintoff?

Look at him right there, first from right. This is the builder and developer who was in a cosy meeting with Police Minister Manuel Mallia (when he is still undergoing trial for attacking Vince Farrugia, and is being prosecuted BY THE POLICE) and with Mrs Mallia in casual gear in a hotel lobby last Saturday.
Now he pops up on this committee. What an unseemly circus this is.

They might just as well erect one in memory of Colonel Gaddafi next to Mintoff. They loved that tyrant.
Their trick is doing things openly without trying to hide or camouflage them in any way. In this way, the public will just accept these things passively, with few thinking “hold on a minute, this doesn’t look right”.
It is just like thieves moving stuff out of a house into a van in broad daylight, without even covering up their faces; many passers-by would not even get suspicious.
I can just see Simon Busuttil at the unveiling ceremony. So far have we sunk.
No, as if………….Alfred Sant!
Why are you anticipating that Simon Busuttil will be at the unveiling ceremony ?
Because Lawrence Gonzi was at Mintoff’s funeral. Because Maltese politicians are spineless. Because the PN Opposition is just like the rest of Malta – it thinks the dead become saints. Because the PN Opposition thinks that “constructive opposition” means you agree with everything.
Yes, Simon Busuttil will be at the unveiling ceremony, along with everyone else. The handful of us who elected the PN from Strickland onwards will be seething, but then the PN no longer speaks for us.
He’ll be there all right. PN are willing abettors in this history-rewriting.
The socialist type in the middle always in the background when booing Lawrence Gonzi into submission was to take place.
They should integrate a coin operated sound system, one Euro for one minute of Dom’s abuse. Isn’t that what made them addicted?
They’ll try, poor things.
When Mintoff was alive and kicking they avoided touching him with a bargepole while now after they made sure he’s dead and buried, they want to erect a monument in his memory.
I suggest adding his statue on the Birgu Monument/watering hole, near the Luqa monument or on the edge of Il-Bastjun in Bormla, his hometown.
By the way , they have to make sure that under il-Bastjun is kept clear .
What are the odds of it forming part of the City Gate Project! Very high, I would assume.
What word is going to be etched, traitor or saviour?
A photo of his face on the Luqa monument will do.
Or even next to that other socialist corrupt multi millionaire Lorry Sant.
Wherever , as long as there are loads of pigeons.
Wasn’t Sandro Chetcuti a regular at Mintoff’s house together with his father?
Do they realise how expensive cleaning the thing every other week will be?
It will backfire when CCTV will have to be installed.
If there’s to be a monument to Dom Mintoff, it had better be cheap and smelly.
Are they going to replace the monument in Luqa?
A good location for the monument would be on top of the Maghtab rubbish dump.

I just hope Dom’s monument is street level, to ensure my dog will be able to relieve himself on it. Knowing Labour’s spite, I wouldn’t be surprised if they plonked it in the middle of Sliema. Sort of ‘Hudu go fikhom’, you know, Law Commissioner style
Wheeler-dealers are at home in the PL. I’d have been surprised had there been none in the committee.
I still remember the police batons and tear gas cannisters.
I suggest the monster’s monument should be surrounded by bass reliefs in granite of his nearest and dearest.
Kim Il-Sung
Nikolae Ceausescu
Robert Mugabe
Mao Tse -Tung
Hua Guofeng
Muammar Gheddaf
All, like him, paragons of democracy.
Maybe a huge bag of euros, say containing around 600 million, would also be in order.
I do not know exactly how to represent in sculpture cuckolding your brother.
I will leave that to the experts.
Maybe they can have a brown envelope thrown in or a pic of his sister-in-law.
Since I cannot do it myself, I wouldn’t mind walking my male dogs next to that monument.
As a design for the suggested Mintoff monument, why not use the PN election poster used in the 70s?
It showed the Great Hero with a huge hammer in his hand smashing the map of Malta into pieces.
That would be a fitting and true reflection of the achievements of il-Perit Mintoff and the Labour Party in general.
As for location, why not erect it just in front of the Times of Malta building as a reminder of one of the most memorable events under his dictatorial and oppressive rule?
A small replica could then be placed somewhere near Dr Fenech Adami’s family house and a copy given to every Nationalist Party club.
Will they be inscribing “TRADITUR” on the monument?
Is this to remember him as Labour leader or as prime minister?
If the latter why was it not the government that took the initiative?
Usually monuments to politicians are placed 10 or so years after the person’s death.
In that way many people would have forgotten the ‘misdeeds’ of that particular person and no hearts would be hurt, but in Malta we do things differently it seems.
The PL tends to push down one’s throats their ideas irrespective of the people’s feelings.
Their financial backer?
Tabilhaqq in- nies twajba fid- dinja hadd ma jaghti kashom u in-nies mahmugin jitollew fuq gholi muntanja. Monument ta’ x’hiex? Talli kisser u hammeg?
I think that the appropriate figure for Dom’s monument would be a large erect penis to symbolise how he f*cked Malta over.
Have you noticed that the site for the monument is going to be kept secret until it is unveiled?
That is done so so that nobody can protest against the imposition but only wake up to find it there.
It has been said that that it is planned to locate the monument ‘somewhere close to his birthplace.’ Thank God for that. I would be sorely tempted to become a vandal if it was placed anywhere that I might see it on a regular basis.
