Nothing that the Chinese didn’t know. That’s why they must keep Labour in power at all costs.
The time will come soon when Muscat like his predecessors will try to squeeze them for more money and the Chinese will send him flying
I guess the next elections will be digital.
Right. And everyone will be allowed to vote, including 16-year-olds, Maltese migrants in Australia and half of China.
Exactly – the Chinese know what they are doing in this rip-off. All they need is a clause to force the exuberant prices irrespective of the international market.
That’s why they got Labour into power in the first place. They don’t need Malta’s revenue stream. They need to be able to yank Malta’s chain.
Keep drumming and even the Chinese will drop them like a hot potato.
No they won’t. Malta is not China’s economic partner. It is China’s political pawn.
Muscat signed a long-term agreement with Xi Jinping when he was still in opposition.
Some tough talk at last , Simon will need to pace himself until the next election , that is politics .
The Times quoted George Pullicino saying the same thing earlier:

By the way, read the comments below that article and despair at the Labour rabble busy defending tooth and nail the government’s plan to buy electricity at higher prices.
It has.
‘PN government will not feel bound to buy electricity at high rates – Pullicino’

I think that another major thing is that we have no signed contract yet after so much fanfare.
Only two weeks ago Konrad Mizzi promised ‘New gas power station deadline to be announced in coming days’

Ma xebax jaqa ghan nejk Joseph Muscat?
And the same should apply to every other dastardly scheme introduced by this corrupt government, including each and every passport sold under the IIP.
I’d take it one step further and warn each and every one of them that every single instance of corruption will be investigated and that all those found guilty will be held to account will the full weight of the law being brought to bear down on them.
Its time to set new standards that hold politicians and all those whom they appoint to account.
Should the need arise, a Nationalist government can renationalise the energy sector.
Nothing goes by unnoticed these days. In the silence of the sitting rooms and living rooms, oculi clausi omnia vident.
