					<description><![CDATA[I always noticed how our Joey &#039;takes over&#039; something which is beyond his control but gives the impression that it was he who made it happen or at least had a say in it.

Take for example the discussions with EU Commissioner Reding. We all know that she called him and he had to go, or else face the wrath of the EU Commission.

But our little emperor wants to give the impression that he decided to talk to Reding himself, and that&#039;s why he decided to stop the discussions with the Opposition.

Those discussions ended on 23 December. Is he now stopping them again? There weren&#039;t any discussions to stop.

The Commissioner had already made it amply clear, in the plenary session of the EU parliament, that she would be talking to the Maltese government about the selling of EU citizenship.

In the (pre-empted stunt) emergency parliamentary debate on the IIP scheme, Joey angrily declared that he won&#039;t be kneeling down in front of &quot;some Foreigner&quot;. He said that he will be discussing with the EU Commissioner on an equal footing.

We will see what the Commission wants. I really am glad that the Commission looks over and checks the behaviour of my irresponsible politicians.

No wonder Joseph Muscat will not publish the government&#039;s contract with Henley &amp; Partners.

I was going to write that with all the commissions, charges and what have you that they&#039;re raking in, they can start up their own bank.

But had a look here:

His intention is to say that he discussed with the Commission, then show them defiance, and tell the Maltese electorate that, &quot;unlike the nekitif and celis PN,&quot; he looked after the national interest and does not give a hoot about the EU Commission &quot;u ghaddiet tieghu kontra l-Ewropa.&quot;

The national socialists are back in power, in Malta.  Riding on a wave of nationalism against &quot;the enemy which must be annihilated.&quot;]]></description>

As PN EP candidate Jonathan Shaw said: IIP stands for Indecent Investor Programme.

Whichever way one looks at the scheme, it IS an indecent proposal put in front of us, the starving chicken-thieves.

Mr Katz, the majority of the people in Malta are amazed and disgusted with this government&#039;s shameless and amoral behavior.

Even MPs on the government benches are avoiding talking about the scheme because they don&#039;t want to have to defend it.]]></description>

&quot;History in the making is all I can say about what is happening in Malta. It is the first time that a government supposedly in the interests of the country, puts the country at financial risk by trying to make a private foreign company so much money.

Amazing that the government wants to take the money from the sales price away from Malta and Maltese for up to two years.&quot;

Malta is playing second fiddle to Henley &amp; Partners.

The government is fiddling away valuable time, opportunity and alliances.

The government and Henley &amp; Partners are fiddling with the electorate, Malta&#039;s image and finances.

The government is busy fiddling while Malta is burning.

The government and Henley &amp; Partners are on the fiddle.
