					<description><![CDATA[I am certain that after only eight months all Maltese people of good faith and reasoning have realized that this government was completely unprepared to take over the running of the country. I say this in view of the fact that you have to be stupid and not realize that all the Ministers who were put to test only made a chaos.

The major fiasco was made by the Minister of Finance when he, as a Minister of Finance, went to explain the budget to the EU. He made Maltese people, including Labour supporters of good faith feel so embarrassed with his performance let alone his blatant lies. This Minister should also tell us exactly by how much the vehicle&#039;s registration and road tax have increased as he failed to specify and be clear during his budget speech in parliament. 

Whatever Dr. Manuel Mallia,  in his position as the Minister for the Police and Security of the State did was highly criticized by many people in responsible positions, and this for example applies to the appointment of the new Police Commissioner, the fact that he was personally involved during the interviews of the members of the Security Services. Not to mention the involvement of his Chief of Staff even in grievous and stupid incidents, and his personal interference with serious Police duties. But, the most grievous for Dr. Mallia&#039;s position was the introduction of the sales of Maltese Passports, and to add insult to injury, it has now also transpired that this issue was planned before the election between the PL and a private foreign company which also abated, maybe also financially, the PL during the election campaign. This system is not only being highly criticized by most of the Maltese population but also by some government representatives in parliament, who although they voted in favour, they gave their views and admitted publicly that they voted that way against their principles. Even the President of Malta seems that he is not sure of his personal decision after signing for this Law. We have also heard the Minister of Finance, a professor, saying during his budget speech at the EU meeting that the system was being misunderstood. If this is the case the Maltese government should sue many foreign newspapers for publishing the system not as being implemented by the Maltese Government. But we will wait and see how this issue will materialize.

After all those nice words we heard from Minister Conrad Mizzi before the election, all he did is employ his wife with a salary of €13000 a month and she does not even have an office where to work from. So one seriously wonders what her actual task is.

All we heard from the Minister of Transport Malta, Joe Mizzi, is the bad service that Arriva are providing but nothing as yet has ever been done except a report about some incidents which he, till now, also failed to publish.

A positive action was taken by Minister Marie Louise Coleiro cause she employed I cannot recall how many relatives within her Ministry.

The Minister of Health have been telling us on a daily basis that the problems at Mater Dei have been solved and all is under control and in order,  including the supply of medicines when a report by John Dalli revealed otherwise.

Another positive and very serious action was taken by the Prime Minister himself, when he primarily threw some good money in his pockets by hiring his own car to the government, giving a present to the PL of €10,000,000 and employing a good number of his friends with the public sector..  

These are some brief points.

But were is the road map that we were promised to secure our family&#039;s future?]]></description>
