This is the photograph which Australia’s The Age used – it speaks a thousand words
Well, obviously it’s going to be ‘to foreigners’, but never mind.
I’m mainly interested in their choice of photographs – very telling.
Valletta, Malta: Malta’s parliament has approved selling citizenship of the Mediterranean island for €650,000 ($939,000) for each non-European Union applicant.

Is it just my impression or are some newspapers choosing not so flattering photos of Joseph Muscat? He is making a fool of himself…and of Malta.

There ‘s an Elve on the EU Observer comments board, beneath the story about Malta: [email protected]
His “star” comment is: Malta is not as big as the UK, so we must have a lower price.
He doesn’t realise that many people buying passports will be doing so precisely to head off to the UK.
Kemm hu antipatiku. Vera bniedem tad-daqqiet ta’ harta.
Do you agree with selling Malta’s citizenship?

Nafdaw lil Joseph ghax Joseph jemmen fina. Officially the laughing stock of the EU. Even the Corriere della Sera has run it as “per ridurre il deficit” – i.e. Malta is desperate because it is bust.
