The International Adviser: ‘More Pressure on Malta’s Citizenship-for-Cash Scheme’
Published:

UK and European politicians are putting pressure on Malta’s government not to implement a controversial scheme that would permit high net worth individuals from outside the EU to buy passports.
The Maltese authority’s proposed scheme would enable individuals to pay €650,000 ($878,000, £545,500) for its country’s passport which would give immediate rights of residency in all member states.
Now the UK’s shadow immigration minister David Hanson is reported by the Financial Times as having “serious concerns” about the Maltese proposal and tabling parliamentary questions to find out what steps the Home Office had taken to oppose it.

My God, veru ghandhom kuntatti mal-international media dawn tal-PN :)
Ara veru trid tkun tgħix ġo bozza (bħalm’hu il-poplu Malti) biex ma tirrejaliżżax kemm twikkejna bi gvern ferfuxi u ‘amateurish’ biex ma qiesux il-konsegwenzi tar-rejazzjoni internazzjonali għal skema taċ-ċittadinanza kif ħarġu biha huma.
Din il-kustjoni tac-cittadinanza hija veru tal-imgienen u gravi u xejn aktar.
Gabitna f’ ilsien id-dinja kollha u f’posizzjoni serja u negattiva.
Il-Ministru tal-finanzi meta mar l-EU kellu jammetti dan kollu u nahseb li dan il-Ministru, minhabba dak li qal dwar din is-sistema, ma’ jdumx ma’ jkun imgihel jirrezenja jew inkella jittwarrab bhal ma’ kien gralu Anglu Farrugia qabel l-ellezzjoni wara li baghtuh fuq Xarabank jikkonfronta lil Dr. Simon Busuttil, u ghax ma’ kienx kapaci jigdeb bizzejed biex jikkonvinci lin-nies jemmnu l-gideb gie imkecci minn Joseph Muscat.
Il-Ministru tal-Finanzi nahseb li hu bniedem onest u min ikun onest ma’ jkunx jaf jigdeb jew kapaci jikkonvinci lin-nies bil-gideb u allura jispicca jghid il-verita’ ghax inkella jithawwad.
Fil-fatt qal u ametta li s-sistema giet introdotta b’moghod mghaggel, u wara qal u ametta wkoll li n-nies fhemuha hazin.
Sur Ministru int taf cert li mhux in-nies fhemu hazin, izda hija s-sistema li hija hazina u int jekk int onest ghid il-verita ghax il-posizzjoni li ghandek hekk tirrikjedi u mhux tipprova tqarraq bin-nies. Ghal min hu onest dan huwa ferm difficli biex jaghmlu.
Sur Ministru jekk ma’ tridx titlef il-kredibilita’ personali u anke dik professjonali tieghek kun onest u ohrog u ghid il-verita’ ghax jekk ma’ taghmilx hekk tkun qed tibaght messagg lill-poplu kollu li int qieghed hemm ghal skopijiet ohra u mhux biex isservi lill-poplu Malti u tkun ukoll qieghed tikkontradixxi il-gurament li had meta sirt Ministru.
Malta is FUBAR
