The Italian accompanying the Chinese billionaire suggested in a demeaning manner that the Media.Link Communications journalists at the airport should go and steal chickens. With the sale of passports we’re giving the impression that we’re “morti di fame.” Shame on you, Mr. Prime Minister.

“Let us rein in the media.”

http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/en/newsdetails/news/national/PN-s-head-of-news-alleges-media-pressure-20140122

It goes without saying that the government has no right to stop independent news media from reporting stories of interest, especially if they regard “investment” in Malta and global “talent” coming to our shores. The government should have seen this coming: its Finance Minister said that there are no persons of “calibre” in Malta, so it is quite obvious that when one arrives at the Malta International Airport, this makes the headlines and the public would want to see what such person looks like.

If the media has the right to film poor African immigrants when they arrive in Malta in inhuman conditions on “rickety boats”, then, the media should have the right to film Chinese billionaires who come here on private jets to become benefactors of Joseph Muscat’s government.

Although the source of pressure is not stated, it is obvious that it was the Labour propaganda which started this.

Daphne, this makes an interesting read: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-25823953. It provides some possible background as to why some Chinese may be seeking EU citizenship.
