Totally agree.

Naqbel mieghek 100%.

It was actually a silent coup d’etat engineered by Far East interests.

Still no meaningful press coverage, let alone questioning of what Shiv Nair’s part is/was in Joseph’s ‘can’t go wrong’ deal with China.
One wonders why?

Kliem preciz, percezzjoni cara! M’hemmx aktar x’wiehed izid!

We are now living in modern times when a leader of the opposition not only signs an agreement with the government of China, but he boasts about it in a newspaper article and no one raises hell.

The deal is the one mentioned in the release quoted above.

Transneft is a Russian state-controlled business responsible for national oil pipelines.

Joseph Muscat has just announced that his government will be seeking more cooperation with Russia.

Il-partit laburista dejjem ftahar li jrid l-ahjar ghal Malta. Dejjem webbel lin-nies li nistghu nghixu ahjar jekk inhallu f-idejh. Kulmeta l-poplu afdhom hlief tgerfix (tbazwir) u konsegwenzi koroh ma rajniex.

Fi zmien Mintoff, l-itwal perjodu ta’ gvern laburista, il-poplu seta’ gawda mill-‘welfare state’, imma l-libertajiet u d-drittijiet fundamentali tac-cittadini gew ikkalpestati b’mod wiesgha u aggressiv. Il-kostituzzjoni taghna giet deskrita bhala karta tat-tgezwir. Sa wasalna biex b’mod legali giet frustrata r-rieda tal-poplu f’elezzjoni bis-sistema tal-vot proporzjonali.

Il-PN fil-gvern, bid-difetti kollha tieghu, jista’ jimxi bil-mod, gebla fuq gebla, bit-tbatija, imma fis-sod, minghajr ma jhammar wiccu quddiem il-barrani. Gab l-Indipendenza politika u l-gid materjali ma naqasx taht il-PN.

Malta kienet rispettata ghax minkejja c-cokon taghha, kien kapaci jigbed l-ammirazzjoni tal-komunita’ nternazzjonali bl-inizjattivi li ha fil-Gnus Maghquda bil-kuncett tal-Wirt Komuni tal-ispazji nternazzjonali (e.g. qiegh il-bahar, l-arja u l-ambjent, ecc) kif ukoll bil-pozizzjonijiet li ha (dwar il-Lvant Nofsani u l-krizi Libjana).

Sfortunatament ghal pajjizna dawn l-affarijiet mhumiex apprezzati mill-poplu u allura Joseph Muscat jista’ jkompli fit-tradizzjoni Laburista-Mintoffjana billi jwieghed il-genna fl-art imqar jekk din tkun gejja mix-xitan jew l-agenti teighu.

Gaddafi spicca, l-Iran u l-Iraq waqfu jiggieldu, il-Korea ta’ Fuq imsallba, ir-Russja m’ghadhiex superpotenza u allura n-newtalita’ nistghu nilghabu biha, u c-Cina libset il-gild ta’ ljun bl-ambizzjonijiet taghha jersqu iktar biex isiru realta’.

Minn dak li qed naraw u nisimghu dwar ir-relazzjonijiet taghna ma certi pajjizi u n-negozjati li qed isiru minn karattri dubjuzi u b’passat mahmug, huwa car li Malta qed terga’ taqbad it-triq tal-prostituzzjoni biex minghaliha sserrah rasha li tghix ahjar bla ma tqis il-konsegwenzi tad-Dizonesta’.

Don’t blame the government; blame those who elected them.

It’s gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.

No surprise there. Malta learned about Alex Sceberras Trigona secret agreement with N Korea years later and only after a change of government. That is Labour transparency for you!
