					<description><![CDATA[Why is there no mention of the signature of the new gas power plant contract on the websites of Gasol, Siemens, Socar or Enemalta?

Why have we not seen one official picture of the signing ceremony?

Is this such a secretive signature?

Has the contract been signed, or not as yet?

Has the government lied to Times of Malta journalist Kurt Sansone?

Times of Malta should investigate and find out.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Not sure where to post this:

&quot;The Social Dialogue Minister (Helena Dalli) is considering amending the law to make it a crime to share explicit photos without the consent of the person depicted after several naked selfies of young women were circulated on the internet.&quot;  

http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140115/local/Move-to-outlaw-posting-selfies-without-consent.502664, January 15, 2014

That&#039;s very different to her defending Cyrus Engerer and his actions recently, isn&#039;t it?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2014/05/the-benefit-of-hindsight/#comment-1924848&quot;&gt;ciccio&lt;/a&gt;.

Once things got out of hand Prime Minister Alfred Sant, with a one seat majority in parliament, turned a routine parliamentary vote on development of Cospicua waterfront into a vote of confidence, while knowing full well that Mintoff would vote against. 

That let Sant off the hook and off the economic shambles brought about by his unworkable CET scheme.

With Joseph Muscat and his gas-fired power station, we have a parallel scenario building up. Unemployment is going up month by month, the national debt is shooting up,  retail sales are down, imports are down, exports are down, bank lending is down, and Finance Minister Scicluna has been caught with his pants down on Euro 100 million taxes unpaid by Enemalta so pushing the 2013 national budget figures in excess of the 3% deficit permissible.

Meanwhile the soldiers of steel were conspicuous by their absence at Muscat&#039;s 1st May meeting in Bormla. 

Come March 2015, Muscat will cite his commitment to resign if the power station is not ready and will  dodge his responsibility for the chaos that his decisions have brought about, and tender his resignation - and not due to any sense of honour on his part.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You know what perplexes me? The fact that Tonio Fenech repeated ad nauseum that a contract the scale of a power station had to go through all the bureaucratic processes as outlined by the EU and an international tendering process was necessary etc.

Labour insisted that a simple expression of interest was enough. And Fenech repeated the same thing some more. And Labour answered back that it wasn&#039;t necessary. And Labour did it their own way. So what was Fenech saying? Was what he said necessary or not?

Someone owes us an answer here and it&#039;s squarely the PN&#039;s responsibility.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I observe that the people in general are very unsettled by the political situation. Although the government is trying to act as if it is business as usual, the comments in the newspapers and in the public seem to have a very unsettled nuance both for Nationalists and Labourites. 

There has been a drama every other week, but not because of the introduction of some great measure effecting the population but over some unethical attitude somewhere, some how.

Claudette Buttigieg was unprepared for the subject matter in my view.

She was superficial in her answers and Deborah Schembri was lying through her teeth in hers.

We won&#039;t be winning any elections any soon with this kind of material.

Many PN members of parliament are only fit to speak on Net TV I&#039;m afraid. No strong argumentation, no aggression and above all no solid subject preparation.

I could have nailed Schembri on each and every point she made and taken on Times of Malta&#039;s presenters at the same time.

But then that&#039;s probably because I have a particular interest in the subject and am comforted by the full knowledge that Cyrus Engerer is a backstabbing rat.]]></description>

Disgusting programme agenda. The PL must be full of potato-heads if they believe the lies that Cyrus and his family were persecuted after he left the PN.]]></description>
