Labour’s famous roadmap pivots on its connection with China.

The islands’ energy system, Pembroke as a super Chinese embassy, Maltese passports sold to Chinese, infiltration in the health and education system, revamping of sites with a Chinese theme and other investments which are still being brewed up.

Do they have a back-up plan? I doubt it.

In reply to krakatoa. It sounds like the work of someone who read Economics in an East German university at the time of the Iron Curtain.

You certainly must be living in a cave.

Joseph Muscat himself on BBC, just 3 months after his election, said that Malta has a “sound economy” (his words).

Now, not only he is a hypocritical useless sod, but he is trying to disprove himself by basically selling our citizenship, because God forbid he admits that the Nationalists did good.

Also, a slight suggestion – in the event that we can start selling passports, start by selling yours and leave the country, so that you can reverse the bankruptcy done by “Gonzi and Co.”

Muscat is still running on the previous administration’s “fuel” I wonder what will happen when this “fuel” dries up. – Your guess is as good as mine –

In reply to krakatoa.

Does this sound like Joseph Muscat – or like Mario Vella?

“In the manner of philosophy, which, in the words of Hegel, like the owl of Minerva takes flight at dusk, at the end of a civilisation’s highest moment, this study begins with an investigation of a phenomenon that emerges, globally and historically, at the end of Fordist epoch of capitalism, or, at least, at a time of Fordism in crisis.”

In reply to bridgette farrugia. If Malta is morally bankrupt, you can thank Joseph Muscat & Co.

Do you blame the media for thinking that our economy has gone down the drain? Why else would we sell off citizenship and at such a low price?

But that’s the problem. We know the country isn’t broke.

The obvious conclusion as to why the government is so hell bent on introducing this scheme (when we don’t need the money) is that there are non-EU nationals who have been promised – for whatever reasons – EU passports.

The money is a formality.

Meanwhile journalists in London have a bit more fun at our expense:
