“Mhux fl-interess tal-poplu.”

Martin Scicluna may be having another ‘moment’ of disillusionment – but Malta seems to be heading towards a DECADE of despondency, disaster and despair, thanks to Martin Scicluna himself and others as ruddy-minded as he is.

That memorandum must be made public. After all, it is signed by the Chinese government (the communist party) and relates to matters of cooperation with the Chinese government.

The opposition should question the prime minister to publish that document in parliament.

Alex Sceberras Trigona had been quoted saying that foreign policy must feed into the budget. The issue of those passports for cash is a perfect example of AST’s doctrine.

Oh, for heaven’s sake, an apologist is one who thinks this country can afford the luxury of choosing between Labour and the PN.

It’s tough Mr.Scicluna, but we have no choice.

Welcome to Labour’s plan for the economy. Nothing.

Which is why the Minister who declared that he held a lot of cash on 31 December 2012, which was a date before he became a Minister, should have been asked by journalists to state if he has since deposited that cash with a financial or investment institution, and if not, why not.

Also he should be asked which financial or investment institution was involved.

Then, questions should be made with the MFSA to check whether it has investigated that proper money laundering procedures were applied by the financial or investment institution in question.

Now let me give you a hypothetical scenario.

I become a candidate for the elections, which are held on 9 March 2013. I am elected and become a Minister.

After 9 March 2013, I earn a sum of money of euro 500,000 in cash, for some reason. I go to the bank and deposit the money.

Later I realise (or I am told, or I realise when I read the “Briksa”) that now as a Minister, come next year, I will have to declare that money in my Ministerial declaration. But I realise also that I have to make a declaration as of 31 December 2012 as well. I know that come next year, I will be asked where I got the large sum of money declared as of 31 December 2013 if it was not declared as at 31 December 2012.

Now I have deposited the money in the bank, so I cannot take it back without suspicion. And if I do not declare it at 31 December 2013 someone may reveal it to the media.

So what do I do?

I declare that cash as cash at home as at 31 December 2012. Then I will say it was my lifetime earnings. Nobody can challenge me. The journalists in Malta have no capability to understand what I have just done.

And the true origin of the euro 500,000 remains unclear.

Rather long-winded, this Scicluna. His orders group would have died of old age.

Does it really matter? We’re all better off without him. He was a Palestinian Mintoff – a self-aggrandising, posturing, lying, egotistical megalomaniac tinpot despot who was more concerned about writing his name in the history books than the wellbeing of his people.

Which explains why he was adored and courted by Maltese politicians.

Precisely.

It’s one step – not even forwards – and takes us thirty steps/ years back.

What a floundering of the Labour Party, that so many people have so little constructive intelligence and vision between them.

What a massive waste of the Public Purse.

The public wasting away of Malta.
