The headline and lead-in translate as:
HOW CASH-STRAPPED EU COUNTRIES HAWK THEIR PASSPORTS
It is a controversial business, but more and more European countries are taking money for citizenship. Those who want to be around Cypriots must put three million euros on the table. Malta is cheaper.

Cyprus. Shit. Simply sublime.
The photo and caption are telling. Die Welt sees the cynicism in this scheme.
The wealthy are welcome. The others are not.
Google translate has no pretensions. This is how it reads Die Welt’s headline:
“How clammy EU countries are peddling passports”
Gonzi worked hard to try and convince the north Europeans not to place all southern European countries in one basket.
And now this. This is far worse than I expected.
There was I thinking that with Malta firmly established in the EU, Muscat could do his worst and we’d survive. Not anymore.
