Sandro should know that the PN are not actually Nationalists with a capital &#039;N&#039;. 

If perhaps, I don&#039;t know, he read a book every now and again he would realise that the PN&#039;s foundations can be traced to the Partito Anti-Riformista which was opposed to the way the British were trying to strengthen their hold on the island by reprehensible means. 

Hence, the evolution to &#039;Partit Nazzjonalista&#039;. Geoffrey Hull wrote a great book on the subject matter. They might have an audio version if you need it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[See also today&#039;s opinion piece by Desmond Zammit Marmara in Times of Malta. This political and historical illiterate is disgusted by the PN&#039;s international campaign whipping up foreigners to oppose the government&#039;s passport sales. 

He also believes that foreign attitudes to Dom Mintoff were not due so much to his attitudes, behaviour and policies but to the shameful machinations of the Nationalists. I understand he is a teacher.  God help his students.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The government&#039;s plan to sell 1800 main applications is just wishful thinking.   If Muscat interprets tomorrow&#039;s vote as presenting no impediment and proceeds with the sale of EU  passports, one can be sure that resident ambassadors will be following the local government gazette to see how many passports are sold and how many millions have been obtained.   When the millions add up, and once the EU passport bubble has been burst, you can be sure that all states, especially bankrupt ones, will use Malta&#039;s example to join in the sale.   

With prices tumbling down due to the competition, you can be sure that even if Malta&#039;s price is competitive, applicants would
prefer to buy a residence in a big country in Europe, as they will need a residence there and not in Malta.   

Then the goose will cease laying Maltese golden eggs, but we will still be saddled with the collapse of the EU citizenship.

As for the 1 billion Euro bonanza; that is just PR to feed their supporters, for them to parrot on the  airwaves and comment boards.]]></description>

Fil-ferneżija biex jagħtu gambetta lill-Gvern u mingħalihom iċaħħdu lill-poplu minn ħajja aħjar b&#039;riżultat tal-biljun ewro li se jidħlu mill-iskema ta&#039; ċittadinanza b&#039;investiment, ċaħdu lil pajjiżhom.
