Gvern trasparenti, literally you can see through Muscat in that image.

Jonqos il-mard respiratorju.

I pray that that many of us will still be breathing while that beautiful ship is moored in the harbour.

Which ties in (rather worryingly) with:

(A) talk of a second republic
(B) grumbling about criticism and negativity from the opposition (hello it’s in the name)
(C) the takeover from the get-go of all positions in institutions and state media included an attempted takeover of constitutional checks and balances (broadcasting authority) and
(D) shredding major chunks of its manifesto & electoral battle cry on day 2.

How pathetic could one be to envisage taking such a photo?

He has been reported as imploring the leader of the Opposition to kneel and pray for forgiveness.

Asking opponents to make apologies is par for the course in politics but I find the kneeling imagery really out of place. It brings to mind supreme leaders who demand that everyone should kneel or bow before them.

It also seems to be a ploy to humiliate the leader of the Opposition.

‘Kuxjenza’ but safety doesn’t come into it.
