    Your heading should make a Nationalist Party billboard.

    The most offensive is the business jet/aviation industry one. The PN did EVERY SINGLE THING that makes Malta currently competitive in the aviation industry.

    To all those speakers praising Malta at The Economist meeting I say Hear Hear.

    And thank you, PN.

    Ah, so now they are using Tony Hayward and Peter Mandelsen as testimonials of Energija Pozittiva.

    The first one left BP on the verge of its bankruptcy.

    The second one left Britain’s Labour when it bankrupted the country.

    I was at The Economist Event held on the 6th and 7th March 2014. There I noticed that all the event was being filmed in HD, and i wondered why they would use this this footage. It was too large a setup just to have the live stream directly on the side screens during the event.

    It was confirmed to me by a person working there that PBS were responsible for the filming. Now this video has emerged.

    The questions are:

    Was the PBS paid by the event organisers as well as the government to film the event?

    How much did the Labour Party pay to acquire the footage?

    Will the event ever be aired or was it filmed exclusively for PL promotion?

    Meanwhile, Enemalta still has not published any updates on the power purchase agreement which, according to Joseph Muscat, has been signed.

      Don’t hold you breath. I’m sure that if released, only the palatable parts will be available.

      • Names and specifics please says:

        It would be good to know from the Prime Minister who were the parties who sat around the table to sign the contract which he says was signed. Names of the companies and names of the persons.

        Last year, Enemalta set up a subsidiary by the name of Malta Power & Gas Limited, with the purpose of obtaining the permits for the development of the new power station and subsequently becoming the legal entity through which the winning consortium carries out its business for 18 years.

        My informants tell me that, at the moment, Malta Power & Gas Limited has only one director, a certain Frederick Azzopardi, who is also the CEO of Enemalta.

        Was the deal signed between Enemalta and Malta Power & Gas Limited?

        Did Mr. Azzopardi sign the contract for Enemalta and for Malta Power & Gas Limited?

        Did one director commit Malta Power & Gas Limited to a contract worth over 400 million EUROS?

        It is also highly unlikely that the government’s own official photographer was not present to take some pictures of the signing ceremony.

    All one gets on ONE and PBS is a queue of ministers and parliamentary secretaries waxing lyrical about the number of EU this and EU that funding programmes they’re working on.

    Sodda mifruxa sinjuri.
