Yepp, there is something not right.

The Prime Minister has been blabbering about how Malta’s place in Europe is natural and that we now will be thinking globally – Africa, Asia, well, you know, thinking like China.

So I am slightly surpised that the Brigadier will be returning to Brussels. Thought he would be posted somewhere further afield, more “global,” like Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian, Pyong Yang maybe.

With some more creativity, they could even give him the status of Ambassador, reporting directly to Dr. Mario Vella at Malta Enterprise.

Let us refresh the memory of anyone who drinketh from the national cup of Kool-Aid.

Once upon a time, a Maltese government envoy with the rank of ambassador was subjected to trial by the Labour Party and its little friend JPO, and subjected to a parliamentary vote, because:

1) he had a huge salary plus perks (so they said, but now Shanghai is awfully expensive);

2) he negotiated with foreign powers without consulting the Maltese parliament (so they said, but now Malta needs a top-secret negotiator with China);

3) he worked directly with the Office of the Prime Minister, bypassing parliament (so they said, but now the envoy to China will report directly to the PM);

4) he was given his position without a public call for applications (so they said, but now envoys are political appointees, headhunted on purpose).

Mrs Konrad Mizzi, of course, is none of this. And I am Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.

The same goes for Mrs Konrad Mizzi. Anyone who believes she will be earning 33K is a fool. It’s 33K which is a taxable salary + the diplomatic allowances of an ambassador which are tax free.

I don’t have access to the specific details of the package but it would be comparable to that of Richard Cachia Caruana, which only serves to highlight further the utterly dishonourable behaviour and hypocrisy of the very party which created so much havoc about that. The Labour Party had ranted until it was blue in the face.

Again this is a case of the PN and press all being soundly asleep while Labour rides roughshod over Malta.

There’s only one thing wrong. We have a Labour government.

Something just doesn’t seen right.

Think of Pyong Yang.

And then think about the young Great Leader of the Workers Party, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Government (formerly known as the Cabinet of Ministers in the first republic), and Commander in Chief of the second republic known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Malta.
