Exactly.

Muscat&#039;s behaviour is that of a benevolent dictator. All that remains is to dissolve parliament declaring he has the will to listen directly to the people. 

He also overruled the President of the republic in the process. And if secrecy can be removed, why not remove other aspects and introduce some more? 

This is plain institutional chaos.]]></description>

Robert Musumeci pontificated in similar vein in The Malta Independent on Sunday today. I expect much better from a law student. Even if one were to accept the personification theory in maritime law, which considers a ship to constitute a legal person, however can a ship or aircraft for that matter be equated to a natural person ? 

It was always said that the citizenship for sale scheme will harm Malta&#039;s reputation as a financial services centre. The likes of Engerer and Musumeci with their warped reasoning in defence of the indefensible will only lead this country to shed further tears.]]></description>
