Comments on: Everybody is speculating about what the “non-domestically paid fee for a new service” is. Isn’t it blindingly obvious? https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/10/everybody-is-speculating-about-what-the-non-domestically-paid-fee-for-a-new-service-is-isnt-it-blindingly-obvious/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

That’s exactly what I thought.

Which brings up another question: For Sigg Luna to include the sale of passports as part of the government’s planned revenue for 2014, he must have a list of committed buyers planning to buy a Maltese passport, I would suspect.

Joseph has already alluded to sales in 2014 would amount to 30 million euro. Where did he get the figure from? Thin air?

Were Malta to have entered into a partnership agreement with the EU instead, as advised by Joseph Muscat, and were we still not full EU citizens, would Joseph Muscat, Edward Scicluna and Manwel Mallia be selling to us EU passports for the price of Euro 650,000 each for those of us wishing to become EU citizens?

Maybe that’s why Joseph Muscat and Labour did not want us to join the EU, then?

Should we laugh or cry? Have they already given everyone they owe a favour to, a well paid job?

That’s it. We blew their top. Their secrets are uncovered.

What hypocrites! First they employ/reward with our taxes every Tom, Dick and Harry who expressed his support for them and now they want to limit recruitment. Should have thought of that last March

How can it be that so many people did not see all this coming their way before last March election?

The writing was on the wall. Labour always fails Malta.
