24 Horas, a national radio station in Chile, tells its nationwide audience in that country that Malta is so far into crisis that it has been reduced to selling its citizenship.
This is a worldwide public relations disaster for Malta, with very serious consequences. The scale of it is almost beyond comprehension.

Voting Labour – the gift that keeps on giving.
There it is. 13.02 pm.
That’s what, 18 hours?
The scale of it is certainly beyond the comprehension of government’s head of communications.
Does he even know that damage control and crisis management are within his remit?
Why doesn’t he copy the Chinese and turn off the internet?
What do you call this kev? The New World Order hitting back?
The PM and his cohort can protest until they are blue in the face that Malta is not in a crisis.
The logical conclusion by any sane individual is that anyone resorting to selling his country’s citizenship to rake in a piddling 30 million does so because the country is in a financial mess and he is desperate.
There will be a trickle down effect of this move, but it won’t be that envisaged by those who concocted this half-baked scheme. The effect will be felt by the financial services sector and potential investments in Malta.
And to think that Malta was one of the few countries (if not the only one) who came out of the financial crises of the past few years relatively unscathed. What a cheap price Labour has placed on Malta’s reputation. Where are those who had yelled ‘Shame on you’ to Lawrence Gonzi? Shame is now on all of us, brought on by the politics of venality.
