					<description><![CDATA[Seems like the CNI activists are gagged. And all those who repeated ad nauseam the mantra &#039;jiddettawlna x&#039;ghandna naghmlu minn Brussell&#039;.

These manouvres will change the face of Malta in the long run and make the Maltese second class citizens in their own country. It doesn&#039;t take much since Malta is a small island. A few filthy rich Asians owning large blocks of land, property/beaches, is all it takes. Then it&#039;s up to them to decide how much to rent out to the Maltese. 

No hard-working middle-income Maltese will be able to compete at purchasing property if these big guns are around. Prime locations (ie seafront)  will be developed and owned by foreigners. 

But of course blind Laburisti will only see the immediate effect of this - &#039;ha ndahhlu l-miljuni fil-kaxxa ta Malta!&#039;

(I didn&#039;t mention Asians in a racist rant. They are the people mostly targeted by this citizenship scheme.)]]></description>
