“He insisted that despite what the PN said, a future government would not be able to withdraw citizenship, even with a change of law. That would be in breach of the Constitution and the European Charter on Human Rights, as confirmed by the Attorney General and the Dean of the Faculty of Laws.”

1. Joseph Muscat has not been asked to clarify what document he refers to exactly when he says “The European Charter of Human Rights.” There exists no document with such a title, so the Prime Minister is referring to a fictitious document and indeed is attributing that fictitious name to the AG. There are the Charter of Fundamental Human Rights of the EU and The European Convention of Human Rights, but not the document mentioned by the PM.

2. The written advice provided by the AG to the Prime Minister and to the Parliamentary Secretary for Justice – which was published yesterday by the Prime Minister and which he partly read out in Parliament – makes no reference to the “European Charter of Human Rights.” In fact, it makes no reference to any international law or international legal authority.

Is the Prime Minister lying or bluffing once again?

Such is the calamity they have placed the rest of us in.

I think the process, as usual in Malta, was traumatic, even because of there’s no real mass to speak of. Socail evolution is either forced or absent. The result tends to be a split down the middle everywhere, mindset included.

Voting Labour at this point in time was a mildly desperate move by those who didn’t catch up to restore Malta to their comfort zone. A place where everything is opinion, can be put to domestic use and its inevitable vice, approximation due personal relations.

The reflection of a people who’ve never had to match to the real deal.

Labour talks environment, planning, sustainability, energy, green economy reducing them to buzzwords. What matters is to chat ad nauseum without getting down to the real stuff, that which requires a paradigm shift, choices, sacrifice.

It will take time to realise that progress is inversely proportional to physical extent of consumption.

Or better, a smaller car is classier, shortening journey times is reducing physical distances, lightweight hi tech requires major knowledge base and so on.

Labour have intercepted the exact opposite, an idea that bigger is better. More money at all costs, consumption habits to rise if progress has to be registered.

Efficiency and individual capability never come into it. An individual isn’t potentially wealthy when their talent can be harnessed, that’s for the ruler to decide. Truly national socialist.
