He and his girlfriend(s) go abroad on ‘exchanges’ on a regular basis without his councillors being told, and they can do nothing about it.

He contested the general election but failed miserably (thank God). If that’s how he uses his minimal amount of power, I shudder to think of what he would have done in parliament.

Therein lies the problem – “tour leader/salesperson” should not figure under a councillor’s job description.

Had this been a trip to the municipality of Borgo Maggiore, with which Żurrieq is twinned, this trip would have made more sense. But to have a “ġita lejn Sqallija” organised by the local council, without any direct relation to the village itself strikes me as a gross misuse of Local Council time and resources – even if no taxpayer money was used to finance the trips themselves.

The mayor’s approach to the whole thing makes his attitude to the council even clearer: to him, the council is just a glorified sottokumitat of the Każin Banda Queen Victoria.

But he likes “epitasers” with his “drings”.

In an emergency, he can fashion a landing strip in no time.
