Which means that Henley & Partners are being given the right to the final say-so on whether somebody is allowed to buy a Maltese passport or not. Or not quite – because the ‘minister’ has full discretionary powers.

Which means that a matter of public/government administration HAS been fully outsourced to one private firm, barring the few cases of a maybe. Let’s not go into the issue that citizenship is of the essence of public administration and that outsourcing the process of granting citizenship should be plain unthinkable.

Do you think that they will really wake up when the new taxes start to bite? I’m sorry but I do not have that much faith in the people who voted PL, including the switchers.

What they will do is justify their choice by saying that the new taxes are necessary because of the debts PN had laden Malta with. At the moment they are all rubbishing concerns about this citizenship sale initiative by saying that (1) other countries do it and (2) and even more deceptively by equating it to the Permanent Residence scheme.

That would be the minister who thinks nothing of keeping 500,000Euros in cash at home. Enough said.

The only advantage of the mad scheme is that it will put a gun to the PM’s head over EU membership, if only for a while.

News reporting is inadequate, but the complacency the proverbial man in the street is no one’s fault but his own.

The orders were placed months ago. Henley & Partners are the pizza delivery men.
