Then, they will also add that the international media is controlled by the PN.

They will say that the foreign media has misunderstood the plans of the government, which relate to talent, investment and economic growth. The fact that the Maltese passport gives access to 28 countries of the EU is just co-incidental, and the euro 650,000 is a minor detail.

And then they will accuse those media as “geliss” and “negativ.” “Prehistoric,” actually.

At the end of the press conference, they will distribute complementary Maltese passports “without any strings attached” to journalists who come from outside the EU, who will also get a map of the 28 countries of the EU.

The journalists from the EU will be handed an invitation for a High Tea in Castille in the presence of Mrs. Michelle Muscat.

That’s what happens when you put know-nothings in charge.

They’re even having the text of their advertorial translated into a multitude of languages for free.

I wouldn’t put it past Muscat and his forty thieves that this too was part of the plan.

So sad that our so-called government puts a price on our citizenship and allows it to be sold to any Tom, Dick or Harry and to make it even worse sold by foreigners.

I am not one who writes or gets involved in politics but what our Prime Minister has done today has made me feel so angry that my citizenship which is mine by birthright is now going to be sold.

Is that what we are worth, is that what our ancestors spilled blood for, is that all the bullshit preached before the last election on being proud to be Maltese?

All this for what, to fulfill promises made to some people before the elections, all this for money.

Tonight I was working and some foreign clients asked me about this law as they heard about it at their hotel. They said that it was a shame that a government could sell our passports to anyone.

It is degrading and such a pity that such a beautiful country with such a rich history ends up selling its identity for money. A sad, sad day for Malta – shame on the government.
