Labour candidate suggests members of the Opposition should sell their passports to pay the party debts

Marc Sant, failed Labour Party candidate, Lija local councillor (Labour), senior member of the Forum Zaghzagh Laburisti and nephew of former Labour prime minister Alfred Sant, thinks that this is an appropriate wisecrack for somebody in his position.

He also thinks it reflects well on him to admit to not having bothered to watch the leader of the Opposition’s speech, even though he is a politician and should have done so, if only to seem properly informed.

    Maybe he was too busy watching XXX-rated videos of MILFs to watch Dr Busuttil instead.

    Somehow Mr. Sant’s comments make me think that this is how the PL ended up with millions in the black ie. by pre-selling our citizenship/rights to the Chinese.

      Secrecy on sale of passports: now we have no way of knowing how many are to be sold to the pro-Gaddafi families who are already here in Malta waiting for their Maltese passport.

  3. canon says:

    I take it that the members of the government already sold their passports and with the money they paid their debts.

    Ask a stupid question and you get a stupid answer. It needn’t be a question. Same applies to stupid comments.

    Even worse was Manuel Mallia who didn’t bother to listen half the time and seemed to be chewing gum. He was more interested in his iPad – maybe he was studying his times-tables or Googling the definition of a billion.

    What a stupid a**hole. Makes a man proud to be Labour.

    Il-vera bicca kretin.

    The man is also president of the Local Councils Association.

  9. Clueless says:

    The passport scheme is one of the reasons the Labour Party is not cash-strapped despite the disproportionate expenses made during the last election campaign. Marc Sant’s quip is ill-advised.

    This proves how cheap and insignificant our citizenship has become to the Labour Party.

    Dr. Joseph Muscat took deposits before the election.

    NOW he had to deliver and for some yet unknown reason had to be made available very fast.

    Time will tell soon what was the reason.

    Mallia must have forgotten some of the deposit in his mattress from the very clumsy reasons he gave for the €500000.

    • Angus Black says:

      Something is not right about the €500,000 cash under Mallia’s bed. What I cannot understand is why the Opposition seems to have dropped the subject instead of relentlessly pursuing this issue.

      First Mallia said that it came from the sale of a property, a statement he made in Parliament, I believe, then, when the information he gave proved to be false, he said that it came from professional services.
