Don Manuel and a red-draped Codruta Cristian make a grand entrance

You have to watch at least the opening seconds of this TVM video (link below).
It’s like a scene from Azerbaijan. Don Manuel walks in, not alongside the mother of his children, but with Codruta Cristian walking behind him like a retainer, and he with his back to her.
This is supposed to be a public dialogue meeting in which he speaks about the Budget, but instead the chairs are taken up by Madame Defarge types in ‘outfits’ and by Adrian Grech Cumbo of Leisure Clothing.
They go ballistic, chanting ‘Manuel! Manuel!’ and then he sits down and says that debate about the Budget has been derailed because of “CERTU INCIDENT”. And he doesn’t mention that certu incident again.

I happened to fastforward the clip to 33sec, and thought I was watching the chicken/turkey dance.
I thought he was fluttering his wings before taking off on a ‘flight of fancy’
I haven’t thought of Gielgud and Rattigan’s Two Cities (not sure where I found it, probably a radio archive somewhere) in ages.
Their Mme Defarge is particularly repulsive.
Goodness, his popularity is on the wane.
There are actually less people there than Alternattiva manage to attract for their mass meetings.
Did she leave the empty plastic bottles with the driver, maybe?
Those are the family members of the criminals he let out.
In the film clip of TVM I could spot a couple of faces who are not usually part of Don Manuel’s tribe but were there probably to show appreciation of some sort.
One face was from the Civil Defence who unfortunately had not been well assisted by the previous administration and the other face is of a non-Maltese young lady working at IMO who would not have understood an iota of what the Minister said.
U zgur li jghid ‘certu incident’ – ghax ma jafx kif ser jaqbad jghatti dak li ghaffeg. Mela allura – less said, better mended.
Am I informed correctly that transport was provided for those who wished to attend?
I’m sure Codruta will have had a sense of deja’ vu on entering the tent: she must have thought she was Elena Ceausescu in her heyday.
Codruta qed tivventila. Cor.
Looks like an arancina
This is a déjà vu – same tactic used to baptise the criminal Cyrus as suldat ta l-azzar. Just unbelievable.
Some Maltese people are hopeless. They can’t even if they try hard distinguish what is right and what is wrong. With this ignorance democracy can’t survive.
I think Joseph Muscat has a noose around his neck with this minister.
What’s with Maltese ministers’ wives shaking hands with people? I have never seen it happen in Italy.
Mrs. Renzi is either out of the scene or those few occasions when she appears there is no focus on her.
I have never seen a Minister’s wife anywhere here in Italy. And we’re talking of a pretty provincial environment here. Malta? Veru minn wara l-muntanji.
Il-hamis filghaxija wahda mara baghtet SMS fuq Radio 101 li inqara live minn Jerome Caruana Cilia, li qalet li cemplula mil-ufficju ta’ Manuel Mallia biex tmur il-laqgha ta’ taht it-tinda, u jekk tacceta anke taxi ridu jibaghtula.
Now if that isn’t a totalitarian propaganda clip, I don’t know what is. Gave me goosebumps for all the wrong reasons.
In the front row there’s a shortish, pinch-faced, black-clothed puny wench. Is she also Rumanian? Has she run out of polenta?
