Citizenship should only be granted to persons who have a link or commitment to the country.

This scheme is objectionable in principle because it requires no such link. Its so-called ‘investment’ requirement is a sham. It is the outright sale of citizenship. No wonder they fail to understand why it caused such a reaction all over the world.

That is why they voted against the proposal to remove the secrecy aspect. It bought them enough time to rush through the first lot of passports. Once that’s out of the way, they’ll pretend to have ‘listened’ to the public call, and will override the law they pushed through in the first place.

I don’t think the PL’s interest really lies beyond the first few dozen ‘applicants’. It is those who need to be satisfied at all cost. The others will just be riding on the needs of the first few.
