Any more dictators and their offspring and shady regimes we might like to associate ourselves with?
The Malta Labour Party’s magnetic attraction to, identification with and fascination for dictators, autocrats, corrupt regimes and their various offspring is really quite incredible.
You’d think that after 26 years minus 22 months in Opposition, they’d have got this weird behaviour out of their system, but instead they’ve picked up right where they left off: dictators of the world unite and be a friend of the Labour government of Malta.
However, I think it more likely that they never left off at all, but carried on those liaisons while in Opposition and making them work to their advantage in getting into power.
Why in heaven’s name are we sucking up to Leyla Aliyeva, the Azeribaijan dicatator’s daughter, a woman who makes the international news for all the wrong reasons? Azerbaijan does not have a royal dynasty. This woman is not a hereditary princess, but the daughter of a man who rigs elections to stay in power, controlling his country through a corrupt and oppressive regime.
Yet here she is, hosted like royalty by Malta’s head of state and by the wife of the Maltese prime minister, feted and toasted. ‘Oh but it’s an exhibition for children! A photography exhibition!. Wrong, and wrong. You have to ask yourself WHY the exhibition was held in Malta and why, more pertinently, it was held at the presidential palace, hosted by the head of state, and why Mrs Muscat entertained this corrupt dictator’s daughter at her husband’s official summer residence, Girgenti Palace, which she has somehow made her own personal territory.
There’s something very wrong going on here. This video has been uploaded on the Azeri dictator’s daughter’s personal Youtube channel. It is absolutely tragic that this is happening. And watching our head of state and prime minister’s wife suck up to somebody like that is awful. Do they understand the implications of what they are doing, how it will be read in the eyes of our European counterparts?
McGill’s are right: the Maltese government is not European.

What a load of bollocks, botox and silicon implants.
Don’t be surprised if we hear that an exhibition on human rights is being organised in Malta and that the key speaker is Viktor Yanukovich.
Let the charade continue.
Do they not wonder why this type of people, i.e. those that are morally corrupt and come from pariah states, are so willing to take up the invitation of a country that still counts itself amongst the free nations?
The reason is that it gives their oppressive behaviour legitimacy. MLP/PL are as clueless as ever.
Are you saying there is no news in Malta about this at all?
That can’t be true if the President is there as Head of State and it’s held at the palace? It must be an official function.
Lots of faces from the cultural scene appear to be missing.
Were they not invited? Or filmed?
Was this function staged for the sole benefit of the dictator’s daughter with an appropriate crowd pulled in to plump it out for her media channels?
Who is the advisor recommending these manoeuvres?
The (Maltese) government department of information is coming out with so many useless tidbits of random information that it is most suspicious that there was no press release for this event.
I checked , the president’s appointments archive stops just a week before the event.
Have to check elsewhere.
“6.30pm He inaugurates Children’s Eyes on Earth, an international youth photo contest – held in association with the International Dialogue for Environmental Action (Baku, Azerbaijan) and international photographer Reza Deghati – at the Palace, Valletta.”

Is Mrs Michelle Muscat by, any chance , perceiving any similarities in culture?
They’re both materialistic chavs. And they both have twins and cheap husbands who believe they were born to shine.
Since the two ladies have so many things in common, the saying goes birds of a feather flock together.
The question should have been “Is Mrs Michelle Muscat aware of anything connected with culture?”
One does not have to be in possession of a PHD to make head or tail of such a situation as this.
Was this part of Valletta 2018, and why wasn’t the PS for Culture, Jose Herrera, there?
I am also wondering, was Mr. Speaker, Anglu Farrugia, invited? After all he was one of the international observers who assured us that the presidential elections in which Leyla’s father was reconfirmed President of Azerbaijan were “free and fair.”
And Mr Shiv Nair? or has he assumed the role of “he who must not be seen?”
He was squeezed out by the presence of the minister of police catering, and exhibition co-president Minister Marija l-Maws.
Azerbaijan’s got them all by the short and curlies.
Do we know if it was the police serving at il-Girgenti?
The short and the curlies? You mean ministers Mallia and Bartolo?
Leyla Aliyeva is yet another chav, so Michelle Muscat is perfectly at home with her. She even has twins.

Best bit was the President saying we shared values with them.
Why were we not informed that this was happening? You cannot use official property for non official uses. There is something very fishy going on. Where is the ‘independent press’?
The president at 5.25 is said to have said that the two nations share common values. Azerbaijan is a country tainted by rampant corruption in the governing bureaucracy. Is this the value our outgoing president want us to share?
Tal-wahx
It might have something to do with the fact that an Azerbaijani government company forms part of the Electrogas consortium.
And since there is some suspicion that the selection process was as rigged as the Azerbaijani elections, one has to ask whether the PL had dealings – directly or indirectly – with Aliyev when they were still in opposition. .
