So what if it was the Maltese government’s decision.

It is still even more a SHAME.

What about today’s news that preparations are being made to receive patients from Libya?

Will our government be making them pay for their evacuation?

If not, I expect that the Maltese workers are given a refund with a personal letter from the minister concerned, telling them sorry.

In reply to helen. Words of wisdom indeed that can be attested by anyone who lived under any former Labour regime and was not brainwashed.

In reply to Jozef. OK. So according to the PL government, Malta started offering for sale at cut-price rates EU passports to foreign nationals without first asking or consulting the EU, but now excuses its failure to act by claiming that it cannot initiate mass evacuation of Maltese nationals from war torn Libya before it gets the green light from the EU. X'qabda nies opportunisti, giddiebin u inkompetenti. Povri l-Maltin maqbudin fil-Libya. Povra Malta.

In reply to La Redoute. Yeah. Same way Costa Concordia Captain Schettino handled the evacuation of thousands of passengers and crew from the rapidly listing vessel by first placing himself in a lifeboat a good distance from his ship.

In reply to Silvio. And to be more precise, their relatives in Malta had to pay before the Maltese workers in Libya could board the flight.

In reply to Edward. Every word in this comment is true to the bone. Shame the PN lacked in the propaganda sector and was unable to get its message understood clearly enough.

In reply to Silvio.

Mr Loporto, as far as my memory recollects, it was the Maltese government that made the necessary arrangements through Medavia.

Hence it was the Maltese government : quote

Great comment, Edward. You are ( unfortunately ) so very right.

In reply to Silvio.

If just one hair of an American citizen is touched, you can be certain that American planes are flying on the zone in no time.

And we charge our fellow citizens 250 euros to get out of a war zone.

In the meantime we charge just 35 euros to other Maltese to come and vote.
