Lino Spiteri is quite tight-lipped on his own interests within the Tumas Group portfolio.

Johan, I was one of those who thought, and I still think I was right, that we needed a change, I must confess if this matter of selling citizenship had been mentioned, or even hinted, before the election, I might have had second thoughts.

I have this feeling that we are actually prostituting ourselves.

[Daphne – Finally we agree on something, Mr Loporto.]

Nowhere – this is one of the ‘secret’ promises of the PL before the elections. What more secret promises are in store for us? I shudder to think about this.

Veru Johann – ghax mal-gvern Nazzjonalista mhux kulhadd gawda. Ara l-istandard of living kif ghola imma qatt ma tammettu li minkejja certi zbalji il-PN gabu Malta pajjiz suret in-nies.

Nispera li ikompli hekk.

Tabilhaqq, gvern uman u vicin ma min jaqbel mieghu biss, Johan – l-ohrajn jista imorru jixxejrju, basta tista tahdem maghna anke jekk ma taqbilx maghna.

There are none so blind as those who will not see, Johan. Think about that.

Lino Spiteri labelled yesterday’s Budget speech as “verbose” in this morning’s Times.

Unless, they already promised passports to a sizeable amount of people with considerable amounts of cash in hand, and who are running away from their own country. Wouldn’ t that risk making us enemies of that country?

For the record: Who is going to pay for this?
